flash back to a time and place we were out of my minds making minimum wage way back then it was the only thing back in those days when i was a teenager growing up and leaving home always on the run with nowhere to go gotta keep it moving til the sun comes up got a dream here big but still too young to care watching cartoons in the living room we re playing video games all day not waking up til friday hanging by the lake and i was singing with my best friends jumping in the deep end growing stronger talking longer with my father i could say i could say we made it out okay twenty years have passed i can t get a grasp on the times that we had all the cries that are left never felt so fast we ll never get it back i always thought it d last forever we got older but whatever i don t care i won t pretend i m still the kid i was back then i m still hanging with all my friends i m just the kid i was back then watching cartoons in the living room we re playing video games all day not waking up til friday hanging by the lake and i was singing with my best friends jumping in the deep end growing stronger talking longer with my father i could say i could say we made it out okay from playing in the sandbox to driving around toy trucks to sneaking out of your house and sleeping on the rooftop in the summer and the spring we were young and we were free i wouldn t change a single thing we always did it our way watching cartoons in the living room we re playing video games all day not waking up til friday hanging by the lake and i was singing with my best friends jumping in the deep end growing stronger talking longer with my father i could say i could say we made it out okay
