Lyrics

Yeah
Ayy
We made it
Class of forever, let's go
Started out with crayons and some Velcro shoes
Snack-time champions with impossible dreams too
Running through the hallways trying not to be late
Back when the biggest problem was a homework grade
Then middle school hit and we all got weird
Bad haircuts, braces, trying not to care
First dances, first crushes, first heartbreak songs
Trying to act tough while we figured life out all along
Now we're looking back like
"Where did the time go"
All those little moments turned to memories we hold
And tonight feels bigger than we ever could've known
This the next step
Hands up singing loud with the whole crew left
The next step
One more night before the real world hits
From the locker room laughs to the Friday night lights
From the bus ride jokes to the tears goodbye
Yeah we made memories they can never forget
And now we're all headed to
The next step
We lost some friends, yeah, life changed fast
Some people moved away but the memories last
Senior year flying like a song on the radio
Now we standing here like "Where did everybody go?"
Football games, pep rallies, teachers yelling "sit down,"
Laughing way too hard when somebody got clowned
Late-night drives with the windows rolled low
Talking 'bout the future like we already know
[Pre-Chorus]
And now our parents crying while they smile for the pics
Trying not to think about how fast time really went
And tonight feels bigger than we ever could've known
[Chorus]
This the next step
Hands up singing loud with the whole crew left
The next step
One more night before the real world hits
From the classroom talks to the summertime vibes
To the friends we swore would stay for life
Yeah we made memories they can never forget
And now we're all headed to
The next step
[Bridge]
Ayy—
One day we'll be grown with some kids of our own
Driving past this town remembering home
Talking 'bout the nights that we never wanted to end
Still hearing these songs and the voices of our friends
And no matter where life goes
Part of us stays right here
[Final Chorus]
This the next step
Everybody singing like we ain't done yet
The next step
New dreams waiting on the other side of this
We came from playgrounds and notebook paper planes
Now we standing here about to chase bigger things
And if tonight taught us anything we won't forget
Every goodbye leads us to
The next step
[Outro]
Yeah
Here's to the memories
Here's to the nights
Here's to the next step
