Verse 1

What a life it was

The world we found outdoors

The place where all our dreams took form

The calm before the storm

Verse 2

We were dancing in the rain

Calving out our names

And time passed by like runaway trains

The memory remains

Chorus 1

Take me back Take me back Take me back

Take me back tonight

Verse 3

The street life beats the box

The pavement to the field

Kissing, smoking, taking knocks

And take a walk to shops

Verse 4

And what a life it was

Our parents had no flaws

Our heroes filled our bedroom doors

Replaced by empty walls

Chorus 2

Verse 5

I reminisce sometime

Remember once in a while

I see the youth locked up inside

Wasting precious time

Verse 6

The light of days gone by

The world we found outdoors

We take it with us locked inside

And what a life it was

And what a life it was

And what a life it was
