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
    And we called ourselves The Devils 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 just grow old
    But we're making our own way out
    Yeah, we're making our own way out

    Well, we'd 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 looked at the ground

    But the victory
    For the kids who believe in rock and roll
    I know for me
    That performance lives, it 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
