Remember all those times at J.A. high
Your thoughts were clouded
And every time she passed you by
You wouldn't shut up about it
She's like a voice talking over the film
With pretty looking face, but still annoying all the same
You've never said a word to her before
You say you know my brother, and I can't be any different than him
Think this'll be a great four years
She’s a fire through the trees, she burns a hole right through me
Strike a match and watch it breathe, she’s burning right through me
Saw her standing over there, a fiery sight, something divine
Take a breath and slow my nerves, I move a little closer
She’s as vibrant as the sun, and she’s as mist from dusk to dawn
I wait for her to break the dark and brighten up my heart
One, two, three, say you don’t have a chance with me
But that’s okay, don’t want it anyway
One, two, three, just get out of my way
We all wanna be loved
So please shut up about it
She's making her way into your heart

Seize the day, don’t be afraid, just ask her out
The worst thing that she could say, is just get out of here
But you don’t know how it feels to be a runner up, a second choice
Back then she knew me as just the little Matthews boy
Grant me the pleasure of your company
Give me your hand and give me time to prove that we can make it through
We’re gonna make it past graduation, past Keiner and Frankie
We were meant to succeed
(Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey)
Class has begun
Mr. Hunter lose the gum
When I look at her nothing else matters
I think of where our lives could be
Father took daughter and left me here alone in Philadelphia
Who knew growing up could be so tough
Do you know how many kisses were wasted
I never had to test my feelings about you
I told you to go and you listened
I told you to go but why did you listen to me
Now I’m leaving
Grant me the pleasure of your company
Give me your hand and give me time to prove that we can make it through
We were gonna make it past graduation, past children and through old age
We were meant to succeed
(I’m the one who cares)

Listen my best friend let me tell you something dark
Listen my best friend, there’s no fooling me
I’ve got desire, got the desire to kill
I’ve noticed a change in you, a change in the chemistry
I’m an undead creature of night
You’ve got desire, a desire to thrill
Go get the girl
The sun makes room for the moon
It’s got me scared, oh so scared
Will the nightmare be over soon
I’ll kill the girl, the one who cares
The girl who cares
Madam I beg you tell of the myth, the crooked spell
It’s too sad to reveal
Five dollar fortune, it’s an unfortunate sale
I see your destiny, a young love ends tragically
Keep her away from me
there is your fortune, poor kid I wish you well
Go get the girl
You’ve gotta get the gun, you’ve gotta get the gun, you’ve gotta stop your son

All our lives we've been walking on our own
We've been wondering where you went for so long
Give up, get up
Which do you prefer
I still don’t know
You know I'll be here for you
And you still have her
You pick me up when I'm falling
But lately I’ve been wasting all my time
I’ve been moving forward
Pressing onward for so long, my brother take me home
We are your family, if you will have us please
You don’t have to be a poor bastard with no home
The trailer is cold tonight
Just sleep outside to get her off your mind

Grow up move on, if it's better for you
Just tell me the truth, and do what you've gotta do
We trade these halls for a future unknown
All I wanted was a friend for the journey home
Hand to heart and heart in hand we leave this memory laden path
And find our footing in the pages of a story yet written
We live our lives looking back to love once scribed
And find comfort in the words “I’ll never leave your side, I’ll never say goodbye”
So will you waste another year
I'd waste the best of me on you
Oh my best friend will you stay here
Just stay or is it time to say goodbye
Or come with us
It’s never easy and it’s never fair
You left so abruptly and changed the plans
It feels like I’ve been abandoned again by all my friends
[I love you all and life will go on]
I love you all and class is dismissed now
Take a breath go make us proud
I love you all, class dismissed
