Some of these are more about time passing than finishing school.
The Ataris - In This Diary
Being grown up isn’t half as fun as growing up
These are the best days of our lives
Eve 6 - Here's to the Night
Here's a toast to all those who here me all too well
Here's to the nights we felt alive
Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever so we can stay like this forever
And we'll never miss a party cause we keep them going constantly
And we'll never have to listen to anyone about anything
Cause it's all been done and it's all been said
We're the coolest kids and we take what we can get the hell out of this town
The Ataris - So Long, Astoria
Life is only as good as the memories we make
And I’m taking back what belongs to me
Polaroids of classrooms unattended these relics of remembrence
Are just like shipwrecks only they're gone faster than the smell after it rains
I raise my glass to the memories we had
Oasis - Champagne Supernova
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall faster than a cannonball
Straylight Run - Existentialism On Prom Night
There are moments when
When I know it and
The world revolves around us
...
Done with what we've lost
Our whole lives laid out right in front of us
The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
[There aren't really any stand-out lyrics, it's more the concept of the song in general].
Long post is long.
