Entering the Real World
I'm well aware that you all are my partners
I'm well aware that you all are my friends
But the times are changing and fate is so cruel
We'll never share another word once we're done with school
At best we've got three months before fate splits us all
Humanity cannot hope to resist time's call
The shock will be great and I'll dearly miss you all
The sun's setting soon and our shadows are tall
And I don't ever wanna feel like it was all for naught
Twelve of my grandest years, these battles that we fought
And I don't ever wanna feel like it was all for naught
Even though the end is near, is this what I sought?
It's hard to believe that it's almost time to
Leave the ways I've only known my whole life
But the halls have grown thin, is this what it's come down to?
To leave this place behind and move on with my life
But I don't ever wanna feel like something's been left behind
Everyone I know and love, imprinted in my mind
And I don't ever wanna feel like I never said good-bye
When everyone I know and love go by like fireflies
Entering the real world now
Leaving the womb I know
Entering the real world now
It's time to start the show
Entering the real world now
No time to question why
Entering the real world now
It's time to say good-bye
