I wake up late for school and I run like hell to try and catch the bus
Never thought about it but those days meant more than I thought they would
Hanging out late with my friends, having fun like punks will do
I never thought that those days would ever end so soon
But as the years goes by your views on life they start to change
When you see the world for what it is, it never looks the same
You walk around, you got a chip on your shoulder
'Cause everyday you know you're just getting older
I never thought it would be
It's just a way of life
I never though it would be
It's just a way of life, it's just a way of life
It's just a way of life, it's just a way of life
I wake up late for work and I drive like hell trying to make ends meet
Gotta borrow money 'cause my baby don't have shit to eat
Staying up late, got two jobs, work my fingers to the bone
Spending more time at those jobs than I ever spend at home
And I can't help but feel the stress, all my bills keep adding up
It's days like this, wish I was a kid, because I've had enough
Look in the mirror; see my face getting older
'Cause everyday I feel the world getting colder
I never thought it would be
It's just a way of life
I never thought it would be
It's just a way of life
All of my memories keep coming back again
All my securities I'll never have again
Wanting so much to be, to be myself again
Give it all back to me, I want it back
Bring it back
Just a way of life
Bring it back
Just a way of life
Bring it back
Just a way of life
Bring it back
Bring it back to me
Bring it back to me
Bring it back to me
Bring it back to me
The innocence I felt
Bring it back to me
The happiness I felt
Bring it back to me
No matter what the cost
Bring it back to me
And everything I've lost
I never thought it would be
It's just a way of life
I never thought it would be
It's just a way of life
All of my memories keep coming back again
All my securities I'll never have again
Wanting so much to be, to be myself again
Give it all back to me, I want it back
It's how I live my life, so fuck you
Get the fuck off my back
It's how I live my life, so fuck you
Get the fuck off my back
It's how I live my life, so fuck you
Get the fuck off my back
It's how I live my life, so fuck you
Get the fuck off my back
It's how I live my life, so fuck you
Get the fuck off my back
It's how I live my life, so fuck you
Get the fuck off my back
This is how I live my life
This is how I live my life
This is how I live my life
This is how I live my life
