I was locked all day in the summer heat, In a small brown house in Suburban Street,
With a skateboard and my shit guitar, I'd 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 It's 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 summers 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 wish 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
(**)
song is about Tom Delonge's childhood, and how his dad left his family. But he wouldn't change anything because it's made him who he is today. (songfacts)
