(Verse 1)
College application on my desk, don’t even wanna look at it
Feelin’ scared to think about what I might miss
All the kids I grew up with, memories so bright
Homecoming week, those Friday nights
(Pre-Chorus)
My favorite English teacher, early practices, making fun of freshmen
Football games at night, screaming loud, we’d never forget then
Yelling “Go, Fight, Win,”
When I see those colors, I start to cry
(Chorus)
High school wasn’t perfect, no, it had its scars
But it was the best time of my life, beneath those stars
Laughs and tears, friends who made me whole
Those memories live deep in my soul
Yeah, high school wasn’t perfect, but it was my time to fly
The best years of my life, I’ll keep them inside
(Verse 2)
Late nights with friends, dreaming ‘bout the future’s glow
Dances and heartbreak, learning as I go
Every moment, every smile, every tear I’ve known
Built the person I am, made me feel at home
(Pre-Chorus)
My favorite English teacher, early practices, making fun of freshmen
Football games at night, screaming loud, we’d never forget then
Yelling “Go, Fight, Win,” with all my might
When I see those colors, I start to cry
(Chorus)
High school wasn’t perfect, no, it had its scars
But it was the best time of my life, beneath those stars
Laughs and tears, friends who made me whole
Those memories live deep in my soul
Yeah, high school wasn’t perfect, but it was my time to fly
The best years of my life, I’ll keep them inside
(Bridge)
Now I stand here, with a future in my hands
But I’ll never forget those days, those plans
They shaped me, made me who I am today
High school’s forever in my heart to stay
(Chorus)
High school wasn’t perfect, no, it had its scars
But it was the best time of my life, beneath those stars
Laughs and tears, friends who made me whole
Those memories live deep in my soul
Yeah, high school wasn’t perfect, but it was my time to fly
The best years of my life, I’ll keep them inside
(Outro)
College can't wait, but I’ll hold on tight
To those years that felt so right
