Best Years of Your Life

Hey you're still in high school, got plenty of time
They say these are the best years of your life
Ace the SAT, you'll do alright
But now you're 18, time for that flight

Ditch your night light
You're in college now
No longer a kid
But not in the Dow
Freshman dorm's quiet
Better than loud
New friendships
They sell by the pound
But wait
Never smoked an ounce
Are these things
You have to deal with now
Want to make your parents proud
If you could figure out
What life's about
Cause, since you were 12
You've been hearing how

These are the best years of your life
These are the best years of your life
These are the best years of your life

Right

21, now you got a real ID
Had one, since you were 16
Guess this one has more meaning
Now you're truly in the drivers seat

You take that ID and think, I decide
Whether these are the best years of my life

They said these are the best years of your life
But are these the best years of my life

Cause you're in bars
Elon Musk's going to Mars
Kids on Insta, they're becoming stars
People older, trying to pass their bars

Hard not to think time's gonna pass you by
I mean, one day you'll be 25
By 30, your prom date
Someone else's wife
Best friend
Driving a Benz, with bright lights

Will you be there too, or on the outside
Will those be the best years of your life
When you're 40, is someone going to say
These were the best years of your life
If so, would they be right
That's what keeps me up at night
