i wake up late for school and i run like hell to try and catch the bus never thought about it but those days ment more than i thought they would. hanging out late with my friends, having fun like punks will do. i never thought those days would ever end so soon. but t ime goes by and all your views on life, they start to change. when you see the world for what it is, it never looks the same. you walk around with a chip on your shoulder. cause everyday you know you're just getting older.
[pre-chorus] i never thought it would be it's just a way of life i never though it would be such a petty life
i wake up late for work and i drive like hell trying to make ends meat. gotta borrow money cause my baby don't have shit to eat. staying up late, got two jobs, work my fingers to the bone. spending more time at those jobs than i ever spend at home. and i can't help but feel the stress, all my bills keep adding up. it's days like this, wish i was a kid, because i've had enough. look in the mirror, see my face getting older cause everyday i see feel the world getting colder.
[chorus] i never thought it would be it's just a way of life i never thought it would be such a petty life all of my memories keep coming back again all mysecurities i'll never have again wanting so much to be, to be myself again give it all back to me i want it back
[bridge] bring it back bring it back to me the innocence i felt the happiness i felt no matter what the cost and everything i've lost
[repeat chorus]
it's how i live my life, so fuck you, get the fuck off my back.
