Whoa 00:06

Whoa 00:08

Whoa 00:12

Back when we were 00:13

Young and dumb 00:15

And we knew everything 00:16

2002 and I'm hangin' on a tour bus 00:18

Leaving my hometown Napanee 00:21

Rockin' a necktie, black eyeliner, white tank top 00:24

And I'm chasin' my dreams (yeah) 00:28

Livin' like a rockstar 00:30

Trashin' hotel rooms (oops) 00:33

Let's get stupid tattoos (okay) 00:36

'Cause we got nothin' to lose 00:39

I've been thinkin' 'bout that summer 00:42

When we had each other 00:46

Back when we were 00:49

Young and dumb 00:51

And we knew everything 00:52

We said this would last forever 00:54

Can't get any better 00:58

Like when we were 01:01

Young and dumb 01:03

And we had everything 01:04

Whoa 01:06

These are the best nights 01:07

Whoa 01:09

Livin' our best life 01:10

Whoa 01:12

Like when we were 01:13

Young and dumb 01:15

And we knew everything 01:16

We're back again, now it's 20 years later (hey boys) 01:18

Somehow it feels like nothing's changed (Ha ha) 01:21

I'm just a kid, still a pop-punk skater 01:24

They told me "get a job", but I said "no way" 01:27

Livin' like a rockstar 01:30

Trashing dressing rooms (okay) 01:34

Smashing Fender guitars (whoa) 01:36

'Cause we got nothin' to lose 01:39

I've been thinkin' 'bout that summer 01:42

Lyrics:

[English]

Whoa

Back when we were

Young and dumb

And we knew everything

2002 and I'm hangin' on a tour bus

Leaving my hometown Napanee

Rockin' a necktie, black eyeliner, white tank top

And I'm chasin' my dreams (yeah)

Livin' like a rockstar

Trashin' hotel rooms (oops)

Let's get stupid tattoos (okay)

'Cause we got nothin' to lose

I've been thinkin' 'bout that summer

When we had each other

Back when we were

Young and dumb

And we knew everything

We said this would last forever

Can't get any better

Like when we were

Young and dumb

And we had everything

Whoa

These are the best nights

Whoa

Livin' our best life

Whoa

Like when we were

Young and dumb

And we knew everything

We're back again, now it's 20 years later (hey boys)

Somehow it feels like nothing's changed (Ha ha)

I'm just a kid, still a pop-punk skater

They told me "get a job", but I said "no way"

Livin' like a rockstar

Trashing dressing rooms (okay)

Smashing Fender guitars (whoa)

'Cause we got nothin' to lose

I've been thinkin' 'bout that summer

When we had each other

Back when we were

Young and dumb

And we knew everything

We said this would last forever

Can't get any better

Like when we were

Young and dumb

And we had everything

Whoa

These are the best nights

Whoa

Livin' our best life

Whoa

Like when we were

Young and dumb

And we knew everything

Whoa

These are the best nights

Whoa

Livin' our best life

Whoa

Like when we were

Young and dumb

And we knew everything

I've been thinkin' 'bout that summer

When we had each other

Back when we were

Young and dumb

And we knew everything
