SPEAKING:

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we`re gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won`t be coming back
No more hanging out cause we`re on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don`t have another day
Cause we`re moving on and we can`t slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn`t know much of love
But it came too soon




And there was me and you
And we got so blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We`d get so excited, we`d get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life`s not fair
And this is how it feels


[1] - As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
Lyric: Graduation (Friends Forever)
