First day of fourth grade and I'm scared to be alone

Left all my friends from the year before, we just didn't get along

Then the girl walked over with auburn hair

Purple glasses, inviting stare

And I knew I'd never be alone again

So hold on to that feeling

The little boy sitting on the bench and

Remember the meaning

Of growing old, staying young again

'Cause time won't hold forever

Someday you may forget

So keep it with you as long as you can

Turn the lock quick

First day of my final year and I'm scared to be alone

The cap and gown mean soon I'll leave to find a place to call my own

But I keep thinking back to the day

My mom and dad, they smiled and waved

And I remembered how it felt to be at home again

So hold on to that feeling

The little boy sitting on the bench and

Remember the meaning

Of growing old, staying young again

'Cause time won't hold forever

Someday you may forget

So keep it with you as long as you can

Turn the lock quick

Sometimes I wonder where I'd be if the mirror kept that time

Would I feel this way or wanna leave this simple town behind?

Will there be remorse? Will there be regret?

Will I miss the smell of the fat dog's breath?

I don't know, but I know I wouldn't change one thing

So hold on to that feeling

The little boy sitting on the bench and

Remember the meaning

Of growing old, staying young again

'Cause time won't hold forever

Someday you may forget

So keep it with you as long as you can

Turn the lock

'Cause time won't hold forever

Someday you may forget

So keep it with you as long as you can

Turn the lock quick
