Lyrics

[Intro]

“Please stand

As a symbolic gesture of your completion of high school,

Graduates, you may now turn your tassels”

[Chorus]

So much time has been passing

And now look at us

Started off so young

Now we have it all

It’s so hard to believe it, why?

But now we move on

So this is goodbye

[Verse 1]

Never thought that I would see this day 

It went so fast, now we graduate

Put a lot of time into words and text

To the point where my hobbies give me side effects

The bonds I’ve built are what it’s all about

I wouldn’t give ‘em up, that’s without a doubt

Had to see some people to the exit door

Can’t give ‘em what they all prospected for

Tried new things with different groups of friends

Met new people, sealed up tough ends

Caught up with people from a while ago

I’m working part-time jobs all in a row

We’re seeking thrillers up through the sky

Cutting lines as they let us by

Checking out the aesthetic buildings

Expensive tuition on the annual billings

Popularity is so overrated

Yeah, you’re better off with the groups you created

I hardly feel like I’m all alone

‘Cause I’m either hanging out or I’m on the phone

Sight-seeing already known attractions

Late night drives are only half the fraction

Waking up, straight to lifting weights

Gotta hit the bench and PR the plate

Water propelling out the mechanized plastic

I swear I thought that they were being sarcastic

Running late but I blamed it on traffic

Escorted out because it came upon graphic

Swinging my arms to keep the musical tempo

Everyone watching, kept the quarter allegro

Shopping sprees and watching the big screen

Moving joysticks, blanket on the green

[Pre-Chorus]

Looking back at times when we thought we knew all (thought we knew all)

We can’t forget the memories we made so far (we made so far)

It’s a long road ahead, remember to take the climb (to take the climb)

Let’s celebrate all night, cheers to it one last time (time)

[Chorus]

So much time has been passing

And now look at us

Started off so young

Now we have it all

It’s so hard to believe it, why?

But now we move on

So this is goodbye

[Verse 2]

Portraits of me with the cap and gown

Anxious now that I’m Florida bound

Stoked for the chances that I’ll get

Ignoring the fact that I’ll be in debt

Places we go to are one of a kind

Our dorm finna be the best you’ll find

The city doesn’t sleep as the night shines

So I’m snoozing my alarms down the line

Taking a hitchhike right down the street

Where we got free food but couldn’t be discreet

Making beats, coming up from beneath

Hit the buffet with the all-you-can-eat

Papers all around as I grind the exam

Acting like I’m fine as I post on the ‘gram

Taking the stage as I’m tense to perform

Matching fits to stay uniform

Gotta have a shot of releasing all your thoughts

It’s all untaught how to earn what you got

Friends coming over to prep the occasion 

We got the 2 and 2 with the completed equation

Doubling it up as we head down the tracks

Wallet is thick ‘cause I’m still making racks

Driving around through the fog and rain

With the music too loud, gotta lower the gain

We’re partying all night, gonna feel the pain

From dancing too long, we cannot sustain

I’mma music one-man prodigy

They triflin’ for seeking an apology

Our wild vibes have been contaminant

Shooting our shots without any embarrassment

Graduating soon, gotta enjoy the rest of it 

It’s all an experience, you can’t question it

[Pre-Chorus]

Looking back at times when we thought we knew all (thought we knew all)

We can’t forget the memories we made so far (we made so far)

It’s a long road ahead, remember to take the climb (to take the climb)

Let’s celebrate all night, cheers to it one last time (time)

[Bridge]

“Seniors, there’s no more living in fear

No more telling yourself that you’re going to settle

No more telling yourself that you’re not good enough

Because trust me, you are

No more restraining yourself from enjoying life with this idea

That you’ll suddenly begin to enjoy life 2, 5, 20 years down the line

Because that cycle of delaying your happiness remains unending

Beginning at this moment, the world is yours

We are just getting started”

[Chorus]

So much time has been passing

And now look at us

Started off so young

Now we have it all

It’s so hard to believe it, why?

But now we move on

So this is goodbye

[Outro]

Starting off a brand new chapter

As we walk down the stage

Earned high school diplomas

From efforts we can’t explain 

And now we will be nowhere nearby

Well now we part ways

So this is goodbye
