what she really means is no way.
and if you try jerking off behind the backstop,
the team will be playing that day. (oh God)

in highschool.
yeah these are the things,
i wish i knew in highschool.

don't call the head jock a fag,
even if it's true.
and don't hold our for that one special girl,
cuz she'll never have sex with you. (no way)

i wish i knew,
there are the things i wish i knew,
in highschool.
yeah these are the things,
i wish i knew in highschool.

don't let 'em see you cryin,
no matter how it hurts.
and nobody ever got laid,
cuz they were wearin' a Rush t-shirt

i wish i knew,
there are the things i wish i knew,
in highschool.
yeah these are the things,
i wish i knew in highschool.
