Caps In The Air

Last bell rings

Empty hallway echoes back our names

Lockers slam

Every sticker

Every scratch still stays

Polaroids on the corkboard

Crooked

But we know each face

I keep your note in my backpack

Folded like a secret place

So we throw our caps in the air tonight

For every late night

Every almost fight

Every test we thought would break us

Every joke that somehow saved us

We don't know where the road goes from here

But I'm glad I walked this part with you near

If this is goodbye

Let it be clear

We were here

We were here

Cafeteria table

Names carved in the plastic edge

Sneaking fries

Making castles out of paper tests

Coach yelling on the sideline

Rain soaking through our shoes

We memorized these corners

Now they're letting us choose

So we throw our caps in the air tonight

For every late night

Every almost fight

Every test we thought would break us

Every joke that somehow saved us

We don't know where the road goes from here

But I'm glad I walked this part with you near

If this is goodbye

Let it be clear

We were here

We were here

Someday we'll drive past this old brick wall

Tell someone small

"I knew every crack

Every call" (oh)

If we forget the dates

We'll remember the faces

The way our hearts raced

At the edge of these days

So we throw our caps in the air tonight

For every late night

Every almost fight

Every tear we hid in bathrooms

Every dream that still has room

We don't know where the road goes from here

But I'm glad I walked this part with you near

If this is goodbye

Let it be clear

We were here

Yeah

We were here
