[Verse 1]
First day back
Senior year
August twelve
That hallway glare
New shoes
Same old fear
Schedules stacked
Heavy air
You said
“Let’s just start again”
Clean notebooks
Ink on hands
We were eighteen
Shaky plans
Linked arms
Second chance
[Chorus]
Almost five months
We’re still here
Laughing through the late nights
Wiping each other’s tears
From August to winter
We held on tight
Two girls trying hard to get it right
Almost five months
And somehow
We’re braver than we were back then
Almost five months
And we’d do it again
[Verse 2]
Thursdays hit like little tests
Locker slams and whispered tests
You’d save me the front row desk
Roll your eyes
“We’ll ace the rest”
Coffee stains on math review
Yearbook drafts
Me next to you
You said
“Someday this’ll all feel small”
But it feels like everything
All in all
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Snow on the parking lot lines
Cap and gown creeping up in our minds
If we drift
If we change
If we move away
Will August twelve still glow this way?
So here’s to the notes we pass
To every hour that rushed too fast
If this is what starting again can do
Five months in
I’m glad it’s me and you
[Chorus]
