Back in the days we'd always hang out at the centre of the city
Nothing to do, but always fire happening
Cause suburban life was a private party and
Pull a girl, let loose and on to the next one
With ghetto blaster and Everlast and Eastpack backs
You attempted looking good even looking for bottles
More money equaled more beers for the weekend nights
When we would gatecrash parties together with our friends
It was lumberjack shirts and page-boy hair
It was teenage dreams and "fuck The Law of Jante"
It was Dr. Alban on your stereo
It was Dr. Martens and we have more to go
It was punk, rock, guitar
And carton wine in 2 liters
And it took less time till you were dancing closer
with suburban queens on gin and tonic's
We worried about nothing
Bounce with us as it goes
[Chorus:]
Take me back - everything was so easy
Take me back - everything was so new
Take me back - everything was so wild
Back to when we were so free and we..
Went crazy and we did what we wanted
We, we didn't care about a thing
And we will never forget
So believe me when I tell you that we
Went crazy and we did what we wanted
We, we didn't care about a thing
And we will never forget
So believe me when I tell you that
It was firecrackers in the pocket, we'd find a mailbox and blow it up
and there was cheering when you stole a porn magazine on the petrol station
We skated every evening and ran from the police
And we'd laugh about people that told us to beat it
And it was being in detention
because of graffiti at the train station
But it was all well cause we were the hotshots of the suburb
The one that did the best was the one that was most fucked up
It was teenagers moving from beer onto hash
From mushrooms onto speed onto lighter gas
Cause you had nothing to do you ran amuck
Yes, it got more and more crazy and you couldn't stop
Then one of our best friends crashed a car
Sixteen years old, life was over, rewind
Jonas and Jens if you could be here now
Can you hear me? You are still here
I said
[Chorus]
It was hammersteps at seven-star parties
And all pocket money spend on blowing your brains out
And you were collected at 1, throwing up in your friends dads car
Apologized , tried to hide your smile
on tuned power bikes, at bonfire parties and hall dances
Hid beers in the bushes, everyone did everyone and
it was tongue kisses, girls with braces, leg warmers, Buffaloes, expectant eyes
And it was 1, 2, 3 girlfriends at once
Cause you could get out of everything back then
Escaping boredom, chasing for girls
A quick date on the local pizzaria
It was him, it was her, it was great, it was fucked
It was them, it was you, it was free, it was good
It was Nik, it was Jay, a suburb, okay
It was back then, baby, so take me back, come on
Take me back to when everything was easy, and
Back to when everything was new, and
Back to when everything felt so wild
Take me back now
Take me back to when everything was easy, and
Back to when everything was new, and
Back to when everything felt so wild
Take me back now
