Midterms and Miller Light

Verse 1

Woke up at noon, missed Econ again

Phone full of texts like “Where you been?”

Pizza on the floor, hoodie on the chair

Somebody drew a mustache on my roommate with a marker and a dare

Campus looks good when the sun goes down

Girls in sundresses all over the quad

Tried a pickup line, yeah it went real bad

But her friend laughed so I guess that’s not so sad

Pre-Chorus

We’re broke as hell but we feel alright

Living off ramen and Miller Lite

Every night’s a story we’ll never forget

Or barely remember but we won’t regret

Chorus

Man I love college, love these nights

Cheap beer, loud friends, bad pickup lines

Strike out once then you swing again

Next thing you know she’s bringing all her friends

Yeah we’re dumb, yeah we’re loud

Singing Blink songs to a half-drunk crowd

No plans, just living the ride

Best four years of our lives tonight

⸻

Verse 2

Professor said “You better pass this test”

But the keg party’s starting at ten o’clock sharp

Met a girl in a band tee by the back porch light

She said she likes punk rock and staying up all night

Some nights you’re smooth, some nights you choke

Some nights your best line turns into a joke

But the DJ drops that pop-punk beat

And suddenly the whole house is on its feet

Pre-Chorus

We’re young, stupid, kinda free

Writing dumb songs in bad harmony

Every heartbreak lasts one night

Then someone hands you another light

Chorus

Man I love college, love these nights

Cheap beer, loud friends, bad pickup lines

Strike out once then you swing again

Next thing you know she’s bringing all her friends

Yeah we’re dumb, yeah we’re loud

Singing Blink songs to a half-drunk crowd

No plans, just living the ride

Best four years of our lives tonight

⸻

Bridge (Blink-style humor)

Someday we’ll have jobs and ties

Mortgage bills and suburban lives

But right now we’re just kids in Vans

Starting terrible garage bands

Someone’s yelling from the porch outside

“Who’s got more beer and a place to hide?”

Neighbor’s yelling, cops might come

But that just means the party’s getting fun

⸻

Final Chorus

Man I love college, love these nights

Red cups shining under porch light

Swing and miss but you’re still alright

There’s another party down the block tonight

Yeah we’re loud, yeah we’re free

Living off caffeine and bad TV

No clue where this road might go

But tonight’s the best night we know

⸻

Outro

So here’s to late nights, loud guitars

Bad tattoos and campus bars

One day we’ll laugh when we look back

At the chaos of a college track
