I was locked all day in the summer heat,

In a small brown house in suburban streets

With my skateboard and my shit guitar,

I dreamed all day that they would get me far.

My dad would ask me about my grades,

The asshole sports that I never played.

And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date,behind our back when mom would stay up late.

It was near when I turned 16,

Got kicked out of school and so it seemed,

Things were closing in and ready to blow.

My dad moved out about that year or so.

It took an hour to start a punk rock band,

To offset my fucked up family land.

And as i held my *mom* would start to cry,

I swore ourselves, a better life



chorus:

If I had a chance for another try, 

I wouldn't change a thing 

This made me all who I am inside 

And if I could thank god 

That I am here, and that I am alive 

And everyday I wake 

I tell myself a little harmless lie 

The whole wide world is mine 



Verse 2: 

The summers gone, those years have passed, 

My friends have changed, a few did last, 

The smallest dreams got pushed aside, 

The largest ones that changed my life, 

And all I wish for has come to pass 

From rock and roll, to love and cash 

It's all success if it's what you need 

Do what you like and do it honestly 



chorus:

If I had a chance for another try, 

I wouldn't change a thing 

This made me all who I am inside 

And if I could thank god 

That I am here, and that I am alive 

And everyday I wake 

I tell myself a little harmless lie 

The whole wide world is mine 



interlude:

Yo oh oh oh 

Yo oh oh 

Yo oh oh oh 

Yo Oh Oh 

Yo Oh Oh Oh 

Yo Oh Oh 

Yo Oh Oh Oh 

Yo Oh Oh 



final chorus:



If I had a chance for another try, 

I wouldn't change a thing 

This made me all who I am inside 

And if I could thank god 

That I am here, and that I am alive 

And everyday I wake 

I tell myself a little harmless lie 

The whole wide world is mine [x2]



[overlapping in background of repeat chorus]



The whole wide world is mine! 

And the whole wide world is mine!
