A song that challanges nostalgia and how we recall. The song was written as if the singer is much older and is now reflecting on different stages of his life, the feelings and the encounters. His attitude towards them now and then.
The music is an extension of the idea behind the lyricks as it starts of very ambient and sounds different for every stage in his life and his attitude.
SIDE NOTES: The lyrics may differ from the live-audio as we played an alternative version, leaving out some bits. But still, we hope you enjoy!

Official Lyrics
Oh-the bitter sweet yellow that is my teeth (now)
Oh-The coffe machine , it'll wake me up.
Oh-the pictures have all been taken by surprise , it's no suprise
You'll spend most days on your own.
So you might as well enjoy your time alone..
'Cause before you know the years have run by..Like rabits do..
Hmm..I was born a baby boy..felt imortal by the age of 22,
with my fists of iron and heart of gold
'Ain't nobody told me I would have to fight at home.
Now it's the weekend fights and nights alone
Ain't nobody told you, you would have to fight for home
Well wish i had known how it was like to be 17'
Yeaaaa...
Oh, aah-I wish i had known, how it was like.
Now all the girls have turned grey.
Now there's graves where i used to play
She said, you've got your mothers eyes.
As I watched you undress slowly
Like in the movies circa 1999
I would take it al back
I would take it al back
I would take it al back
take home to my mother
would you take it all back?
