Jeff Martin - Graduation lyrics

[Intro: Jeff Martin] Oh, baby, no Yeah, now lemme' tell you 'bout a girl back in high school Nice looks, pretty eyes, very polite too I knew once I seen her I had to make moves I'm just so damn lucky that it fell through 'Cause now we goin' downtown walkin' through the city And now we never comin' home, forget a P. Diddy Just sittin,' grindin' out hours, man, it's gettin' gritty And we were blowin' all our cash until it's itty bitty That's why they say if you have time, spend it with your love If she ever start to cry, give her the biggest hug If you wanna' just give up, don't ever pull the plug 'Cause the relationships that last forever stay young Do you remember waitin' for the trains out in Union Station? Lookin' through the streets, seein' all the corporations? I hope we get to travel everywhere across the nation This the Summer time, baby, this is graduation [Verse 1: Jeff Martin] Uh, now lemme' dive into the story We were eatin' B-Dubs while her friend was gunnin' for me I think we ordered up forty Sittin,' talkin' for awhile then our feet were touchin' toesies' She was fine, she was beautiful downstairs She had all these bad curves, she had all this bad hair Charlie eatin' all my food but I really didn't care Thinkin' she might be the one, 'bout to be a millionaire We were hangin' all night, but we both were pretty shy Had to look the other way because I thought we'd lock eyes Then I scoured up the courage had to be the bigger guy Thought I had to do it now because I'm runnin' outta' time 'Bout to ask her for her digits then the bu*terflies start Chest was bangin', felt it poundin' in the center of my heart Thought it over, "Was the move I'm making even pretty smart?" Turned around the other way and made a pretty quick dart Sat down, then her friend came over to my side Gave me her phone number, dang, that woman so sly Went home, made a choice to swallow up my pride So surprised by the message that I got in reply Four years gone by, can't believe it really Two years with a girl who's extremely pretty Three months she be goin' kindda' far away One thing I know for certain is the bond will stay But when I really think about it's so hard to bare 'Cause it's not easy leaving all the people who you care It's like goin' upstairs just without the stairs I'm sittin' pondering feelings and rippin' out my hair This a message to everyone here across the nation Hold the people you care about through graduation [Bridge: Jeff Martin] One person ain't the only thing that's scarin' me I'm leavin' home, all my friends, man, and family When I picture the future it's just so hard to see I'm confused on who I am, who I'm tryna be Do I take the path left? Do I take the path right? Do I do what's accepted or do I do what's in my sight? 'Cause I got a feeling that there's about to be a fight I understand success won't come to me overnight Sometimes change is bad after all But when you're gettin' it started you're goin' wall to wall And sometimes you trip, stumble and take a fall You're stuck cryin' for help but have no one to call Here's to everyone who stayed with me across the nation I hope I live up to all y'alls expectations I'm thankful everyday for your guys' admiration You're the reason that I made it through my graduation [Verse 2: Jeff Martin] Now lemme' tell you 'bout some kids back in high school Pretty funny, very loyal, always stayed true I knew once I seen 'em I made the right move I'm just so damn lucky for a great group And we might go to different places that far away And we might never see each other 'till our judgement day But that pa**ion that you gave me will forever stay You gave me sunshine even when the sky was grey Thanks Charlie for being the brother I never had Thanks Jimmy for making me have great laughs Thanks Brandon for basically bein' my other half Thanks Eric for always bein' a great hand Thanks Matt for makin' me be a better man For the musical connection that we always had Even when you get me triggered and you make mad You make feel there's no reason to ever be sad There's one thing I need to cover way before I leave And that's my fam' who always had belief in me All my failures they always tried to oversee And my accomplishments they made me proud, I guarantee Thanks mama for makin' me feel gratified Thanks daddy for teachin' me how to reach the sky Thanks Roxxi for bein' there until I die Thanks aunties and uncles for stayin' nearby So when I start to play everywhere across the nation I got this plan in my head, it's an operation Life if what you make it, know that it's your own creation Don't be scared to make a change, this is graduation This is graduation
