Noah And The Whale - Give It All Back lyrics

rate me

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

Tonight
