Graduating Class

When I was fifteen, I thought I'd have it all figured out
And now I'm eighteen, and I didn't know what I was talking about
And I'm going through the motions, I'm lost in my own head
And I'm scared of being honest, so I guess I'll lie instead
Cause I don't know where I'm going, or who I am
What I thought I would be doing, was just a foolish plan
And I turned in my white gown, but I got to keep the cap
And the ropes it came with, it's funny, just like that
All the four years of hard work, I was told would go by fast
To enjoy every moment, don't let another pass
And I didn't believe them until
I was the graduating class

And no one ever warned me, of what it would be like
When I thought where I was going, could change overnight
And my parents always worry, 'bout what I'm doing next
As they're raising their first child, and trying to do their best
To understand who I am, and where I wanna go
But if I'm being honest, I don't even know anymore
And it wasn't a challenge until
I was the graduating class
One year away from twenty, still feels like seventeen
Being handed my diploma, feels like a fever dream
Now the whole world's in front of me, so take it from me
Enjoy every moment before
You're the graduating class
