TO GRAMMAR AND HIGH SCHOOL
AND COLLEGE WE WENT,
WITHOUT EVER THINKING
OF WHAT IT ALL MEANT

THE DAYS AND NIGHTS SPENT
SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS,
WE NEVER REALLY THOUGHT THAT
THOSE TIMES WOULD END.

WE TALKED ABOUT SCHOOL
AND HOW WE WISHED WE WERE DONE,
BUT NEVER STOPPED TO THINK
THAT WE'D MISS ALL THE FUN.

WAKING UP AT NOON
WITH NOTHING TO DO,
SKIPPING A CLASS BECAUSE YOU
WERE OUT UNTIL TWO.

GOING TO THE BARS AND NOT
HAVING TO DRIVE,
GETTING UP THE NEXT MORNING,
BARELY ALIVE.

STARTING DEBATES
ON ALL SORTS OF THINGS,
FRAT PARTIES, KEG-STANDS, AND
MEANINGLESS FLINGS.

COMING BACK FROM CLASS
AND TAKING A NAP,
GOING TO CLASS
IN A BASEBALL CAP.

THESE WERE THE THINGS
WE FORGOT WE WOULD MISS,
WE NEVER KNEW LIFE
WOULD TURN OUT LIKE THIS.

NOW IT IS WORK,
FIVE DAYS IN A ROW,
WE DRINK LESS BEER,
WE DRINK MORE JOE

WE COME HOME AT NIGHT
YEARNING TO REST,
FOR COME THE NEXT DAY
WE MUST BE THINKING OUR BEST.

WE WORRY ABOUT STUPID THINGS
AND WE'RE ALWAYS ON THE RUN,
SINCE WHEN SHOULD A JOB
ROB US OF FUN?

THERE WERE SEVEN DAYS IN A WEEK,
NOW THERE ARE TWO,
SO LET'S STOP ACTING LIKE WE
HAVE SO MUCH TO DO.

EVERY NIGHT SHOULD BE FUN, EVERY DAY EMBRACED.
LET'S ALL STOP THIS RIDICULOUS RACE.
LIFE IS TOO SHORT, WE'VE ALL HEARD IT SAID.
"THE BEST YEARS HAVE PASSED," IS INGRAINED IN OUR HEADS.

JOBS COME AND GO,
FRIENDS WILL ALWAYS BE HERE,
SO GRAB A COUPLE OF OLD ONES
AND GO GET A BEER.
