Hot life, under the sun
I'm thinking back on what i've done
In those days
The whole world was mine
Ain't a lie, it's a shame
Now the man in the mirror
Lost his name
I'm looking at a stranger
I was innocent and free
That was my reality
Like a child that does'nt care
Bout all the ones who stare
Being what he wants to be
If i could
Turn back the time
I'd be the first of the line
To live it, to love it, and do it again
It's in this mind
Who's in need to rewind
But never say never, n' play on the game
Quite sure, i did some mistakes
I had to learn the hard way
What it takes
To control the fire
I lived my life like a hurricane
Getting more n' more insane
A tough spot
Like climbing a razor
I was innocent and free
That was my reality
Like a child that doesn't care
Bout all the ones who stare
Being what he wants to be
If i could
Turn back the time
I'd be the first of the line
To live it, to love it, and do it again
So it's in this mind
Who's in need to rewind
But never say never
N' play on the game....play on the game
Run, run, baby run....
