Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I had fun
Life was so simple
Nothing to do
No one to fear
Nowhere to run to
Time machine
Time machine - carry me back
Time machine
Carry me back - carry me back
When I was young
When I had fun
Life was so simple
No rushing around
Punching the clock
No work to be done
