Noah & The Whale - Give It All Back Lyrics
Oh, well, the world never seemed bigger
Than the summer of '98Living out in the suburbsPlotting my escapeI grew my hair to my shoulderFormed a band with a couple of friendsAnd we called ourselves The Devil's PlayhouseInfluences like Bruce and the BandAnd we'd sing and play simple 3-chord rock and rollAnd miles away, the other kids would just grow oldBut we're makin' our own way outYeah, we're makin' our own way outWell, we practiced every week in my bedroomWhile my parents were working in townAnd one morning in our school assemblyPlayed a cover of "Don't Let Me Down"The performance was nervous and awkwardBut the passion was really profoundAnd the kids in the audience laughingWhile the band just stared in the groundWhat a victory for the kids who believed in rock and rollI know for me that performance lives and never grows oldBut we're makin' our own way outYeah, we're makin' our own way outWell, I'd give it all back just to do it againYeah, I'd turn back time, be with my friendsYeah, I'd give it all back just to do it againTurn back time, be with my friendsYeah, I'd give it all back just to do it againTurn back time, and be with my friendsYeah, I'd give it all back just to do it againTurn back time, be with my friendsTonight
