[Verse 1]
Last bell shakes the room
Your name still on my desk
Gym floor scuffed with tape
Locker metal, open chest
One more walk this way
Then summer steals the map
[Pre-Chorus]
We were fifteen
Now we’re almost out
Same blacktop
Different kind of doubt
I’m laughing hard
To hide the crack
When June comes in
It don’t come back
[Chorus]
Freshman year, don’t go far
Freshman year, you left a scar
Freshman year, I’ll keep that spark
(keep that spark)
Freshman year, right in my heart
[Verse 2]
Polaroids in my phone
Crooked smiles, cafeteria trays
Detention notes, cheap fries
Tuesday fights, then better days
Your hoodie on the fence
My shoes by the curb
[Pre-Chorus]
We were awkward
We were loud
Learning how
To stand our ground
The hallway rang
With every plan
Now the doors swing wide
Like a wave of hands
[Chorus]
Freshman year, don’t go far
Freshman year, you left a scar
Freshman year, I’ll keep that spark
(keep that spark)
Freshman year, right in my heart
[Bridge]
Maybe we change
Maybe we don’t
Maybe this fear
Is just what it wants
If we drift apart
Or stay in touch
This year made us
Mean so much
[Final Chorus]
Freshman year, don’t go far
Freshman year, you left a scar
Freshman year, I’ll keep that spark
(keep that spark)
Freshman year, right in my heart
Freshman year, one last time
Freshman year, you’re still mine
Freshman year, we made it through
(we made it through)
Freshman year, I’ll remember you
