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
