You sit in the back as the
Audience claps
Waiting for the seats to
Fill in
Up in the bleachers
The teachers are watching
The chorus is starting
To sing
As I step up to get
My degree
From the stage I can
Almost see
Out past the road
Where the lights
Shine low
Down into the valley below
Chin up boy when your
Choices become your demands
You'll see what I mean and I
Mean that you'll be who I am
All these Colleges, these graduations
They don't show who we are
Let's empty out these museums
And make exhibits from our hearts
Can I buy myself a little more time
Before I have to start?
As the stadium clears out
We drift apart
I took a walk
Through Cameron park
The sky grew dark
It felt heavy like a storm
Down the highway
Down the tracks
Down to road
To pain, oh glory
I followed you
The sun in my back
Through children's rhymes
And nursery stories
Oh
My Marie
To be back behind the
Gym at seventeen
No more birthdays
IDs
No more stories
We learn to believe
No "chance meeting"s
Just reunions
I'll see you at line
In a funeral
No more Colleges
Graduations
We know
Who we are
Let's empty out
These museums
And make exhibits
From our hearts
When the heat came down
And the stars came out
I was left on the ground
In this town
And the heat, back breaking heat on the ground (x2)
And the heat, back breaking heat
Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh
C'mon!
Emptied out rooms
Heart breaking toons
Summer comes soon
Summer comes soon
Emptied out rooms
Heart breaking
Summer comes soon
Oh, summer comes soon
No more Colleges
Graduations
We know who we are (x2)
