Say Anything - High School Low lyrics

If I'm just a slave to my high school days

Then when does a boy become a man

They say at 16 I will get tough and mean

College prep rally pep peachy keen

And ill meet a gal and take her to the prom

And maybe we'll make out by the old viewpoint

But, there are no gals, no pep rallies, good pals

Stay away from these high school

My teacher says that I'm brilliant

My mother says I'm a star

My girlfriend just avoids me

But I still pay for the dinner and the movie

My room is filled with abandon

My homework is yet left undone

I look at pictures of myself as a small child

All filled with hope and so alive but

Oh, these high school days

Take that away, take me away, take me away

Stress and hard duress replace the hope I had everyday

All these high school days

Take that away, take myself away

If only I could skip forward or back

The best years of my life oh my god I hope not lets go

I hope not lets go

My friends are overachievers

My love is burning my down

My left nut has this crazy itch during homeroom

oh god that girl just saw me scratch my

all control is now spiraling

my grades look pretty damn low

I want to motivate myself, but how the hell am I supposed to work

I do not love these high school days

Take that away, take me away, take me away

Stress and hard duress replace the hope I had everyday

All these high school days

Take that away, I take myself away

If only I could skip forward or back

The best years of my life oh my god I hope not lets go

I hope not lets go

So listen young boys to the words that I speak

Heed then and hold them to stay

Never let go of the cowboy inside

Or you'll die in your high school days
