Give It All Back

Oh, well, the world never seemed bigger

Than the summer of '98

Living out in the suburbs

Planning my escape

I grew my hair to my shoulders

Formed a band with a couple of friends

Yeah, we called ourselves The Devil's Playhouse

Influences like Bruce and The Band

And we'd sing and play

Simple three-chord rock and roll

And miles away

The other kids would disco

But we're making our own way out

Yeah, we're making our own way out

Well, we practice every week in my bedroom

While my parents were working in town

And one morning in our school assembly

Played a cover of "Don't Let Me Down"

The performance was nervous and awkward

But the passion was real and profound

And the kids in the audience laughing

While the band just stared at the ground

What a victory

For the kids who believe in rock and roll

I know, for me

That performance lives and never grows old

But we're making our own way out

Yeah, we're making our own way out

Well, I'd give it all back just to do it again

Yeah, I'd turn back time

Be with my friends

Yeah, I'd give it all back just to do it again

Turn back time, be with my friends

Yeah, I'd give it all back just to do it again

Turn back time, and be with my friends

Yeah, I'd give it all back just to do it again

Turn back time, be with my friends
