Nostalgic Reflections: Youth's Wild Adventures
Lyrics
Skateboarding out late at night
Engaging in skateboarding activities during the late hours of the night.
Going fishing and mini-bikes

Playing bass in a garage band

Stealing beer from my old man
Stealing beer from the speaker's father.
The stuff I did when I was young
Reflecting on past actions and experiences during youth.
Hanging out and having so much fun
Enjoying socializing and having a great time during youth.
Sadly now it's all done
Expressing a sense of nostalgia for the past, which is now concluded.
I go to work to move zero's and one's
Currently engaged in a mundane job involving computer programming ("zero's and one's").
Oh oh oh when I was young
Nostalgically recalling the carefree moments of youth.
Oh oh oh when I was young
Repeating the nostalgic sentiment from line 9.
Wow oh It was so much fun
Expressing the excitement and joy experienced during youth.
Skipping school and going to the beach

Hacky Sack and smoking bad hashish

Ice skating on a frozen pond
