Song lyrics
I was locked all day in the summer heat, 
In a small brown house in suburban streets, 
The skateboard and my shit guitar, 
I dreamed all day that they would get me far, 
My dad would ask me about my grades, 
The asshole sports that I never played, 
And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date, 
Behind our backs when mom would stay up late. 

It was near when I turned sixteen, got kicked out of school, 
And so it seemed, that things were closing in 
And ready to blow, 
My dad moved out about that year or so, 
It took an hour to start a punk rock band, 
To offset my fucked up family land, 
And as I held my mom would start to cry, 
I swore ourselves a better life. 

If I had a chance for another try, 
I wouldn't change a thing, 
This made me all of who I am inside, 
And if I could thank God, 
That I am here, and that I am alive 
And everyday I wake, 
I tell myself a little harmless lie, 
The whole wide world is mine. 

The summer's gone, the years have passed, 
My friends have changed, a few did last, 
The smallest dreams got pushed aside, 
The largest ones that changed my life, 
And all I wish for has come to past, 
From rock and roll, to love and cash, 
It's all success if it's what you need, 
Do what you like and do it honestly. 

If I had a chance for another try, 
I wouldn't change a thing, 
This made me all of who I am inside, 
And if I could thank God, 
That I am here, and that I am alive 
And everyday I wake, 
I tell myself a little harmless lie, 
The whole wide world is mine. 

Yo oh oh oh 
Yo oh oh 
Yo oh oh oh 
Yo Oh Oh 
Yo Oh Oh Oh 
Yo Oh Oh 
Yo Oh Oh Oh 
Yo Oh Oh 

If I had a chance for another try, 
I wouldn't change a thing, 
This made me all of who I am inside, 
And if I could thank God, 
That I am here, and that I am alive, 
And everyday I wake, 
I tell myself a little harmless lie, 
The whole wide world is mine.

This is personally one of my favorite songs out of the entire album.

When reading the lyrics of the song, you can notice it reflects Tom DeLonge's life. When he was seventeen, he was expelled from school (hence, "It was near when I turned sixteen, got kicked out of school") and about family life when younger. It also sparked his start of Blink-182 with Mark (hence, "And talked in hours start a punk rock band").

The second verse talks about the future and how much it has changed him, going from Blink-182 to now Angels & Airwaves.

In the chorus, you can tell Tom didn't regret a single thing that has happened. He is happy what happened. He is happy he doing what he loves. Thats what matters to him.

The meaning through the lyrics are amazing and powerful, especially talking about Tom's life.
