Graduation

You leave in a month
I've had you since September
Could I have met you first?
Now I cry out loud
I fear the worst
It's a price to be heard

We could've had years
If I found you a second closer
You'd be right here
This is so unclear
Just a blink and a wave
Until you disappear

Class starts at 9
I don't feel alive
'Til I see you standing
In the corner of my eye
You picked me up
That pink and cloudless night
I was taken aback
I didn't know you could drive

There you walked me home
That place you stood alone
I come back listening
Wish I could speak like how you think
High school graduation
Permanent vacation
You don't come through the door
I face the stage and laugh some more

You're magical
In this side of hell now
Where will I look up?
Last week you promised
You'd be back in one year
Now I'm feeling weird

Call times at 5
I'm out of your sight
Expecting you to find me
Before 10 o'clock at night
I called you up
Then you let it ring
But I won't push you away
I won't regret anything

There you walked me home
That place you stood alone
I come back listening
Searching in each concert that I see
High school graduation
Permanent vacation
You don't come through the door
I face the stage and laugh some more

Two years left to go
A hundred more Mondays
One more summer heartbreak
Before I leave for the road
Hope I make a sound
For the ones at the door
If you don't forget me
I won't look back anymore

There you walked me home
That place you stood alone
I come back listening
For 70's night life in green and spring
High school graduation
Permanent vacation
You don't come through the door
I face the stage and laugh some more
