about

A song about friends, memories, and being a senior in high school.

lyrics

Finally on top, I said,
As the signal turned itself to red.
We were buzzing from the thought
Of having times we never got.
And I swear we’d better never look back down.

Hearing all the stories of
All the people that we used to love.
But now we’d reached the age
That we could be the ones on stage.
We took our lines and learned our roles that day.

The kids looked up at us to see the ways
We handled our lives from day to day.
And rumors through the halls began to swell
That things were never meant to end this well

I remember looking out
Recognizing faces in the crowd
There were people that we knew
There were people that we wanted to
But the ones we knew the best would never leave

We were headed home that night
As we wandered home beneath the lights
When your brother asked of you
“What does it mean for me to be?”
And you stopped and told him everything you knew

And the kid looked up at you to see the way
You handled your life from day to day
And rumors through his mind began to swell
That things were never meant to end this well
