This one goes out to all the people
(Let me hear you)
Who believed
And never gave up on me
It's been a crazy ride
Let me tell ya
But with my friends
By my side
We can get through anything
Are you with me?
Pick it up!
All the parties
All the girls
All the good times
Living without rules
It's Friday no school
Still hungover from the night before
Well F it, Lets hit the pool!
Were over it
Just get over it
Raise a glass (raise a glass)
To the past (to the past)
And make a toast to everything that we've been through
You'll blame me (I'll blame you)
I'll blame you (you'll blame me)
For everything we've been through
We're just the kids from California
Just trying to have a good time
Black eyes!
DUI's!
The occasional surprise! Surprise!
The morning after always brings laughter
Maybe a little sense of awkward?
Maybe a little sense of awkward?
Maybe a little sense of awkward?
I wanna stay here
Forever...
(I wanna stay here)
(I wanna stay forever)
I wanna stay here
Forever...
I wanna stay
I wanna stay forever
I wanna stay
I wanna stay here
Forever...
Raise a glass (raise a glass)
To the past (to the past)
And make a toast to everything that we've been through
You'll blame me (I'll blame you)
I'll blame you (you'll blame me)
For everything we've been through
We're just the kids from California
Just trying to have a good time
All the parties
All the girls
All the good times
Living without rules
All the parties
All the girls
All the good times
Living without rules
It's Friday no school
Still hungover
From the night before
All the parties
All the girls
All the good times
Living without rules...
The song Pocket Aces by Casino Madrid is an ode to the good times and wild antics of youth. It starts with a shout-out to all those who believed and never gave up on the singer, referring to the kind of loyalty and friendship that often forms during teenage years. The lyrics describe various party scenes and the teenage lifestyle of living without rules, with lines like "All the parties, all the girls, all the good times, living without rules." The singer seems to be reminiscing on past experiences with a sense of nostalgia, looking back on the crazy times with fondness and laughter.
However, there's also a sense of acknowledgement of the consequences of their actions, as the lyrics mention "Black eyes, DUI's, the morning after always brings laughter / Maybe a little sense of awkward?" The singer seems to be aware that their choices weren't always the wisest, but there's still an element of fun and carefree living that they don't regret. The chorus features a toast to everything they've been through, with lines like "Raise a glass to the past" and "We're just the kids from California, just trying to have a good time."
