They tore my high school to the ground and
put a new wing in the east lot
On my old parking spot

It stands reminding me of how
I wish that i could travel back in time
Change my state of mind


So if you're still in your teens listen to me


It's hard to see beyond these walls
Of who (who) and who not to be
Socially

Maybe you're in you're out
But in the end when all your hats are in the air
Nobody's gonna care


So fair the weight
Freshmen hold on

It's only four years long
Then it's gone
And the queen of the nerds and the king of the prom get a job

Look at them now
She's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown
So be cool, be hot, be weird

It's just four years

Next time you're walking through your school

Take at who's surrounding you
Or hounding you
Cause it's all just castles in the sand

When your tassel's on the left side of your head
You're never going back


So hope (?)
It's only four years long
Then it's gone

And the king of the nerds and the queen of the prom get a job
What did you know?
He's a CEO and she answers his phone

So be cool, be hot, be weird
It's just four years


And as for your grades I know they're important
Everyone wants to be a wiz
Cause all of it goes on permanent transcripts

I just don't know where mine is

So fair the weight

Freshmen hold on cause every homecoming court moves on
It's only four years long
Then it's gone

And the queen of the nerds and the king of the prom get a job
Look at them now
She's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown

So be cool, be hot, be weird oh
So be hot, be wild, you're here oh
Be cool, be hot, be weird

It's just four years
