I'll never forget, mud puddles, 1995, January
Me speeding on my scooter like it's a Jaguar1
The smell of fish in red sauce2
Singing along with the cassettes, livin' the dream
Crazy kids, playing with love
So what'd you say, truth or dare?
Rumors are still running in my school
Hiding my secrets in the closet
So dad won't know, so the school counselor won't hear
Man, that's embarrassing, I'm screwed
Learning math instead of learning about taxes3
I wasn't into it, so they gave me a white pill, 40mg4
And how come these people aren't ashamed?
Setting up another mall where we used to play
And paper planes are still flying by just like life
Every day, every day
I want to go back
Every day
Back home, to you
To that innocence that still filled the eyes
Every day, every day
I'll never forget, Tze'elim5; you're home, I'm staying at the base
Getting up for a 4-8 watch6, mom's on the line, saying; "Be strong!"
On the weekend, going back to my bros
Smoking our lives away on the bench
Dude, pass the seeds7
And do me a favor, light up some coals8
And then I fall asleep in the living room, and my sister says out of nowhere;
"Take a shower, you stink!
You and your friends smell like an ashtray."
Seriously, give me a break, I haven't showered in two days or more
I had a girl that I loved from the base
And she found herself another prick
From rollers to skates, the guys are college students
Honestly, I'm the loser
Who runs for miles after his dreams
Living in a fantasy, spotlights and confetti
Black and white pictures covered in dust
I was so beautiful, now I've changed
And it's so distant from me, so distant from me
Every day, every day
I want to go back
Every day
Back home, to you
To that innocence that still filled the eyes
Every day, every day
And every day, every day
I want to go back
Every day
Back home, to you
To that innocence that still filled the eyes
Every day, every day
