jeff martin - graduation lyrics

[intro: jeff martin]
oh, baby, no
yeah, now lemme’ tell you ’bout a girl back in high school
nice looks, pretty eyes, very polite too
i knew once i seen her i had to make moves
i’m just so d-mn lucky that it fell through
’cause now we goin’ downtown, walkin’ through the city
and now we never comin’ home, forget a p. diddy
just sittin,’ grindin’ out hours, man, it’s gettin’ gritty
and we were blowin’ all our cash until it’s itty bitty
that’s why they say if you have time, spend it with your love
if she ever start to cry, give her the biggest hug
if you wanna’ just give up, don’t ever pull the plug
’cause the relationships that last forever stay young
do you remember waitin’ for the trains in union station?
lookin’ through the streets, seein’ all the corporations?
i hope we get to travel everywhere across the nation
this the summer time, baby, this is graduation

[verse 1: jeff martin]
uh, now lemme’ dive into the story
we were eatin’ b-dubs while her friend was gunnin’ for me (eek)
i think we ordered up forty
sittin,’ talkin’ for awhile then our feet were touchin’ toesies’
she was fine, she was beautiful downstairs
she had all these bad curves, she had all this bad hair
charlie eatin’ all my food but i really didn’t care
thinkin’ she might be the one, ’bout to be a millionaire
we were hangin’ all night, but we both were pretty shy
had to look the other way because i thought we’d lock eyes
then i scoured up the courage, had to be the bigger guy
thought i had to do it now because i’m runnin’ outta’ time
’bout to ask her for her digits then the b-tterflies start
chest was bangin’, felt it poundin’ in the center of my heart
thought it over, “was the move i’m making even pretty smart?”
turned around the other way and made a pretty quick dart
sat down, then her friend came over to my side
gave me her phone number, dang, that woman so sly
went home, made a choice to swallow up my pride
so surprised by the message that i got in reply
four years gone by, can’t believe it really
two years with a girl who’s extremely pretty
three months she be goin’ kindda’ far away
one thing i know for certain is the bond will stay
but when i really think about it it’s so hard to bare
’cause it’s not easy leaving all the people who you care
it’s like goin’ upstairs just without the stairs
i’m sittin’ pondering feelings and rippin’ out my hair
this a message to everyone here across the nation
hold the people you care about through graduation

[bridge: jeff martin]
one person ain’t the only thing that’s scarin’ me
i’m leavin’ home, all my friends, man, and family
when i picture the future it’s just so hard to see
i’m confused on who i am, who i’m tryna be
do i take the path left? do i take the path right?
do i do what’s accepted or do i do what’s in my sight?
’cause i got a feeling that there’s about to be a fight
i understand success won’t come to me overnight
sometimes change isn’t bad after all
but when you’re gettin’ it started you’re goin’ wall to wall
and sometimes you trip, stumble and take a fall
you’re stuck cryin’ for help but have no one to call
here’s to everyone who stayed with me across the nation
i hope i live up to all y’all’s expectations
i’m thankful everyday for your guys’ admiration
you’re the reason that i made it through my graduation

[verse 2: jeff martin]
now lemme’ tell you ’bout some kids back in high school
pretty funny, very loyal, always stayed true
i knew once i seen ’em i made the right move
i’m just so d-mn lucky for a great group
and we might go to different places that far away
and we might never see each other ’till our judgement day
but that p-ssion that you gave me will forever stay
you gave me sunshine even when the sky was grey
thanks charlie for being the brother i never had
thanks jimmy for making me have great laughs
thanks brandon for basically bein’ my other half
thanks eric for always bein’ a great hand
thanks matt for makin’ me be a better man
for the musical connection that we always had
even when you get me triggered and you make mad
you make feel there’s no reason to ever be sad
there’s one thing i need to cover way before i leave
and that’s my fam’ who always had belief in me
all my failures they always tried to oversee
and my accomplishments they made me proud, i guarantee
thanks mama’ for makin’ me feel gratified
thanks daddy for teachin’ me how to reach the sky
thanks roxxi for bein’ there until i die
thanks aunties and uncles for stayin’ nearby
so when i start to play everywhere across the nation
i got this plan in my head, it’s an operation
life if what you make it, know that it’s your own creation
don’t be scared to make a change, this is graduation
yeah, this is graduation
