He was a simple boy
He just liked to have fun
He never wanted to be just like his dad was
He was a dreamer but he had never had none
Who made the most of his life
But never had one

He was a single boy
He could never slow down
He always wanted to leave but didn't know how
He was a dreamer who seemed to never break ground
Who spent most of his life in a small town
Shake up my life

Let's go back to the days when we were young and not restless
When we still believed and hadn't built up defenses
I'll tell you one thing for sure till we make the decision
We'll never take this world unless we make a head on collision

And daddy told her she could never have late night help with her math
So she sits crying by the window
Every time she gets another "A" she makes it another day
And it's just that simple
Shake up my life

Let's go back to the days when we were young and not restless
When we still believed and hadn't built up defenses
I'll tell you one thing for sure till we make the decision
We'll never take this world unless we make a head on collision

Here they come now will you come down
Make 'em run now onto the next town
Here they come now
Let's me 'em run now
No time to fake now
Everyhting breaks down

Let's go back to the days when we were young and not restless
When we still believed and hadn't built up defenses
I'll tell you one thing for sure till we make the decision
We'll never take this world unless we make a head on collision [x2]

Don't you know that there's more to this than what we thought
Cause we were never listening
We've heard it all before but we missed it
When all we needed was a head on collision [x2]
