Graduate

Standing at the bus stop

In the freezing cold

Drag my feet to the classroom

For things I didn’t need to know

I was a loner, learning to dream

How could anything out there be bigger than me

And the bell would ring

It was everything

Just to run out in the field

And we’d climb that fence

Lose our innocence

Just to see how it would feel

Everyone told me I should play it safe

But my heart broke anyway

Don’t need a cap and gown and a silly piece of paper

To graduate

Felt like there should be bars on the windows of my school

If you talk back or ask questions, they label you a fool

I was a daredevil

Soft spoken kind of rebel

Never been afraid of heights

Always in the sky

Hold me down

I’d like to see you try

And the bell would ring

It was everything

Just to run out in the field

And we’d climb that fence

Lose our innocence

Just to see how it would feel

Everyone told me I should play it safe

But my heart broke anyway

Don’t need a cap and gown and a silly piece of paper

To graduate

I was a loner, learning to dream

How could anything out there

Be bigger than me

And the bell would ring

It was everything

Just to run out in the field

And we’d climb that fence

Lose our innocence

Just to see how it would feel

Everyone told me I should play it safe

But my heart broke anyway

Don’t need a cap and gown and a silly piece of paper

To graduate
