Thinking back to 2001
The year before my punk rock tine
Trading pogs and magic cards
And smoking wasn't cool at all
Naivety was my trade mark
Before the day I realized
We're all ruining our lives
Or we simply might
I never did what I was told
So I learned to spend some time alone
“They had empty clips on my mind”
“So they burned my fortress to the ground”
No social skills, way out of line
But I was myself, I was proud.
Take me back, Take me back,
I can't help it anymore
All my friends have gone away
Take me back, Take me back,
I can't figure out what to say
To make it all allay
No consequences, just survive
Throw your number 55
If there's a true lesson to learn
Save integrity, then you'll earn
A thing worth breathing for,
Friends living through open doors
Save the best for us
Hypocrisy,
The stress it brings,
It's not the best for us
I lost some friends, lost some hope
Lost some goals, as pure as gold
I'm touching sand, I strive for luck
But it's sweeping down, hard as rock
I feel alive, I feel it's burning deep inside
It's not alcohol, because it's leaving me cold
Take me back, Take me back,
(Cause) I lost the best part of me
None of my friends took a better way
Take me back, Take me back,
How I wish I'd learned from my mistakes
Cause sometimes, I’m such a waste
Conviction brings the doubt of being wrong
Don't trust me, cause there's no pleasure in this song
Don't help me, cause I want to help myself
Just, hey, please, don't hate me now
