The Written Chapters

Graduation(Friends Forever)

Songwriters: Deutsch, Josh; Fitzpatrick, Colleen

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same

But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day

Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon

And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

As we go on we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

La, la, la, la...
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la...
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men

Will the past be a shadow that will follow us around?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

As we go on we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

As we go on we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

As we go on we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

     Obviously,this is a graduation song.And I always have a thing about this kind of song.It's probably because it revolves around school and friendship,which I feel close to me.But what makes this song to be so special to me of all the graduation songs I heard?There are actually a few reasons for it.First,it's because of the lyrics.I like the lyrics because it deals with a real situation.Most of it is just a daily life situation,but when it's being put in the lyrics,I immediately think about how valuable they were although it's just a tiny matter.

     Hanging out together,sharing our dreams,we joked around,and for me,I often skipped the classes with my friends(yeah,I know,I'm not a good student...).But when we graduated,everyone is going somewhere and we took a completely different path from each other.Like me and my three best friends that's what happen to us.Two of us,(one is me) went to a matriculation program but I'm at a north region while the other one at the south region.And one of us went to a nursing program while another one went for Form Six(it's a two year extended study in school to get a certificate equivalent to A-Level).

    However,thanks to the advanced technology such as cellphone and internet,we are able to stay in contact with each other and during a public holidays,we often meet together^___^

I think I wrote too long for this post..haha...can't help it..have to share it with you guys...sorry about that....=.=

    Anyway,enjoy the song and if you have any good graduation song,please tell me,I would like to hear it too....=))
