They tore my high school to the ground and 

put a new wing in the east lot 

On my old parking spot 

It stands reminding 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 (who) and who not to be 

Socially 

Maybe you're in you're out 

But in the end when all your hats are in the air 

Nobody's gonna care 



So fair the weight 

Freshmen hold on 

It's only four years long 

Then it's gone 

And the queen of the nerds and the king of the prom get a job 

Look at them now 

She's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown 

So be cool, be hot, be weird 

It's just four years 



Next time you're walking through your school 

Take 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 hope (?) 

It's only four years long 

Then it's gone 

And the king of the nerds and the queen of the prom get a job 

What did you know? 

He's a CEO and she answers his phone 

So be cool, be hot, be weird 

It's just four years 



And as for your grades I know they're important 

Everyone wants to be a wiz 

Cause all of it goes on permanent transcripts 

I just don't know where mine is 



So fair the weight 

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 prom get a job 

Look at them now 

She's living her dreams while he sleeps with his crown 

So be cool, be hot, be weird oh 

So be hot, be wild, you're here oh 

Be cool, be hot, be weird 

It's just four years
