lyrics

When I was two
there was nothing more to do
then crawl around and smile all the time
and when teething caused my biggest fits
my mom would hold me close and sing
that everything was gonna be alright
And in my elementary school years
I knew the names of all my peers
and all the shows they watched when they went home
and an enemy was someone who
had a better pair of shoes than you
but you always saved a spot for them in line

And it never seemed like getting old
would be as hard as getting A's
or telling girls their dresses were nice
And a rock thrown through the window
made you think you were in Stand By Me
Those bastard years were the best years of my life

Now I'm smoking cigarettes
and doing things that I regret
like asking girls for numbers too soon
and the only soft spot's in my heart,
I'm not immune to Cupid's poison darts
and I'm watching movies love sick all the time
and death has never felt so near
I can smell him in my 13th beer
and he's killing all the love left in my life
but it soothes the agony for now
and it spins me and the room around
spin me back to when I wouldn't hurt a fly

And it never seemed like getting old
would be as hard as getting A's
or punching in the hours at the grind
I've had enough of this old shit
I just wanna watch my spit fall
in the years that were the best years of my life

Send me back to the best years of my life
Take me back to the best years of my life
