Angels and Airwaves - Rite Of Spring

I was locked all day in the summer heat In a small brown house in suburban streets The skateboard and my shit guitar I dream all day that they would get me far My dad would ask me about my grades The asshole sports that I never played And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date Behind our backs when mom would stay up late It was near when I turned sixteen Got kicked out of school and so it seemed That things were closing in and ready to blow My dad moved out about that year or so It took an hour to start a punk rock band To offset my fucked up family land And as I held my mom would start to cry I swore ourselves a better life. If I had a chance for another try... I wouldn't change a thing... This made me all of who I am inside... And if I could thank God That I am here and that I am alive... And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie... The whole wide world is mine... The summer's gone, the years have passed My friends have changed, a few did last The smallest dreams got pushed aside The largest ones, that changed my life And all I've wished for has come to pass From rock'n'roll to love and cash It's all success if it's what you need Do what you like and do it honestly If I had a chance for another try... I wouldn't change a thing... This made me all of who I am inside... And if I could thank God That I am here and that I am alive... And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie... The whole wide world is mine... Yo, oh, oh-oh Yo, oh, oh Yo, oh, oh-oh Yo, oh, oh Yo, oh, oh-oh Yo, oh, oh Yo, oh, oh-oh Yo, oh, oh If I had a chance for another try... I wouldn't change a thing... This made me all of who I am inside... And if I could thank God That I am here and that I am alive... And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie... The whole wide world is mine... If I had a chance for another try... I wouldn't change a thing... This made me all of who I am inside... And if I could thank God That I am here and that I am alive... And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie... The whole wide world is mine...
