about

This song is about growing up in a punk band from a very young age and having to eventually stop due to life taking over.

lyrics

The year was 2004
I was so young, I was so bored
The only way out, was with my bass
and it was great

We gigged and we jammed everywhere we could
we weren't well known, we weren't that good
but none of that matters, because we had fun
it's what we done

This became a part of my life
It taught me what was wrong and right
but now the candles out, and all I do is shout..

We had a time, but our time was up,
a really good time, but our time was up
We had a time, but our time was up,
and when the fun was gone, it's time to stop.

As the years would roll on and on,
I had this band still going strong
We tightened up, we toured and we gigged
it all was great
What comes with the good, comes real life
Nothing would work, it didn't feel right,
eventually it added up, the time was up.

This became a part of my life,
I now know what is wrong and right,
because now the candles out
and all i do is shout.
