| As I rewind back 2007
|
| I remember the feeling of stepping on this stage
|
| I was the king of the world for the next thirty minutes
|
| I sang every word and you know that I meant it
|
| So there I was, 20 years old
|
| Every thought, every word
|
| Every move I made was a focus on
|
| Getting out of here (just get me out of here)
|
| If I could just leave now I know I won′t go back
|
| You can bet your ass you won’t see me around
|
| Until everyone knows my name
|
| 10 years ago, I was a lost but lively soul
|
| 10 years ago, I was out of control but now I′m just out of touch
|
| With who I was, but that’s just growing up
|
| And I don’t know who th hell I′ve becom
|
| But I know I wouldn′t trade it for the world
|
| And now I question myself
|
| Am I the man I used to sing about in the past?
|
| I’ve got a real tone with real concerns
|
| And at the forefront: the future of this shithole
|
| Oh, oh
|
| What kind of world will our children grow up in?
|
| Oh, oh
|
| Will they have the same chances that I did
|
| Here I am, 30 years old
|
| Every thought, every word
|
| Every move I make is a focus on my wife, my son, my home
|
| You′ve got my word until I’m in the dirt, I won′t let you down
|
| If that means everyone forgets my name
|
| 10 years ago, I was a lost but lively soul
|
| 10 years ago, I was out of control but now I’m just out of touch
|
| With who I was, but that′s just growing up
|
| And I don’t know who the hell I’ve become
|
| But I know I wouldn′t trade it for the world
|
| (And I′m still the same deep down)
|
| The world is beautiful
|
| Though it disgusts me most days
|
| I’m angry, jaded and bitter
|
| But when push comes to shove I can
|
| Always kick myself out from the ground
|
| 10 years ago, I was a lost but lively soul
|
| 10 years ago, I was out of control but now I′m just out of touch
|
| With who I was, but that’s just growing up
|
| And I don′t know who the hell I’ve become
|
| But I know I wouldn′t trade it for the world |
