[Verse]
Friday night the lights were burning
Autumn air and leaves were turning
The field was loud
The crowd was roaring
We were young
No time for mourning
[Prechorus]
The teasing
The pranks
The drama
The mess
It all fades away when I confess
[Chorus]
The best thing
The best thing about high school
Was you
My friend
Breaking every rule
The best thing
The best thing
It’s so true
High school was wild
But the best was you
[Verse 2]
We’d steal the ball and dodge detention
Laugh at notes they’d never mention
The cafeteria felt like a stage
Every hallway was our golden age
[Prechorus]
The lockers
The books
The bells that rang
But you and me
We always sang
[Chorus]
The best thing
The best thing about high school
Was you
My friend
Breaking every rule
The best thing
The best thing
It’s so true
High school was wild
But the best was you
