Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Weekends on young and angry streets

We meet, drink 'til trouble found us there

Living life as without a care

We've had our fights, been black and blue

It's true, even gone to jail for you, my friends

Bet your life that I'd do it again (I'd do it again)

Until the end

Don't change the way you think of me

We're from the same story

Life moves on, can't stay the same

For some of us, I'm worried, yeah

...

...

While some have gone their separate ways

There's some still caught up with the past instead

But move on, you're missing most of your life

They say it's hard to stay the same

When some fail, while other men seem to gain, but friends

I'll be with you here until the end

Until the end

Don't change the way you think of me

We're from the same story

Life moves on, can't stay the same

For some of us, I'm worried

We're all falling forward

With no signs of slow

And some are moving faster

But that's all that I wanted, I wanted

...

I know it's hard, it's passing by

The memories be out all night

So reminisce won't bring you back

Just look ahead and hold on tight

We're all falling forward

With no signs of slow

And some are moving faster

But that's all that I wanted, I wanted

...

Don't change the way you think of me

Oh, yeah

Until the end

Until the end

Until the end

Until the end

...
