Intro: (4x) verse 1 Growing up without a dime It was so damn fun Mom worked overtime And Dad was gone And I know it’s not easy Now I know I’m not easy verse 2 Ride around the neighborhood With my older friends Go to sleep whenever I want And burn it down Oh I know I wasn’t easy Now I know I wasn’t easy Pre-Chorus I don’t blame you for things we never did Or bad things I’ve done I don’t blame you for things we never did Or bad things I’ve done She was lost He was gone It was right I could do whatever I wanted He was lost She was gone It’s alright I could be whatever I wanted Post-Chorus Whenever I wanted Whatever I wanted Whenever I wanted (2x) verse 3 We never had the nicest things But we sure looked good I can make anything feel So much better than it should Oh I know I wasn’t easy Now I know I wasn’t easy Pre-Chorus I don’t blame you for things we never did Or bad things I’ve done I don’t blame you for things we never did Or bad things I’ve done She was lost He was gone It was right I could do whatever I wanted He was lost She was gone It’s alright I could be whatever I wanted Post-Chorus Whenever I wanted Whatever I wanted Whenever I wanted

La chanson évoque les souvenirs d'une enfance marquée par la simplicité et l'insouciance, même en l'absence de moyens matériels. Les protagonistes se remémorent des moments de liberté, où ils pouvaient se déplacer dans leur quartier, dormir à leur guise et vivre des expériences sans se soucier des conséquences. Bien que les parents soient souvent absents, le narrateur réalise qu'il ne porte pas de rancœur et accepte les imperfections de cette période. Le contexte évoqué est celui d'une génération ayant grandi sans grandes attentes, mais qui a su tirer le meilleur de chaque situation. Cela parle d’une nostalgie douce-amère, où les défis de l'enfance sont contrebalancés par des instants de joie et de camaraderie.
