They tore my high school to the ground and put a new wing in the east lot
On my old parking spot
Your stares reminded 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 you hope and hope not to be
Socially
Now maybe you're in or you're out
But in the end, when all your hats are in the air
Nobody's gonna care
So fairway, freshman, hold on
It's only four years long
Then it's gone
And the queen of the nerds and the king of the proud
Get a job, look at them now
She's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown
So be cool, be hard, be weird
It's just four years
Next time you're walking through your school
Take a look 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 homecoming court, vote on
It's only four years long
Then it's gone
And the king of the nerds and the queen of the proud
Get a job, what did you know
He's the CEO when she answers his phone
So be cool, be hard, be weird
It's just four years
And I ask for the grades, I know they're important
Everyone wants to be out of wins
Cause all of it goes on
Permanent transcripts, I just don't know
Where my days end
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
So fairway 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 proud
Get a job, look at them now
She's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crowd
So be cool, be hard, be weird
Oh, be happy while you're here
Oh, be cool, be hard, be weird
It's just four years
Just four years
Just four years
