Graduation
Reckless Love: A Tale of Missed Graduation and Unforgettable Moments
Lyrics
Remember when we'd sneak out of our houses
Reflecting on a time when sneaking out of homes was common.
And make out when we were grounded
Recalling moments of making out while facing consequences like being grounded.
All our grades were failing
Noting a period of academic struggle where grades were failing.
It's amazing how we didn't care about it
Expressing amazement at the lack of concern during challenging times.
I thought that we would wake up one day
An expectation of a change in life direction that did not materialize.
And wanna find a new direction
Realization of being significantly delayed in completing eight semesters of education.
But now I'm eight semesters late
Feeling too old now to celebrate or make up for missed opportunities.
We're too old to celebrate
Missing the chance to graduate due to being excessively intoxicated.
We missed our graduation
Highlighting the consequences of irresponsible behavior.
Coz we were fucking wasted
Explaining that graduation was missed due to being heavily intoxicated.
Underneath the bleachers
Recalling intimate moments under the bleachers.
Your lipstick on my t-shirt
Remembering the physical connection through the presence of lipstick on clothing.
It felt so god damn amazing
Describing the intense and positive emotions associated with those moments.
Everybody said that we weren't good for love
Acknowledging societal disapproval of the relationship.
Remember when they'd say I was a failure
Recalling past judgments of being considered a failure.
And that I would peak in high school
Mentioning expectations of peaking in high school.
But then my father told me that
Revealing a contrasting perspective from the speaker's father about jealousy towards unconventional actions.
Their jealous of the crazy shit that I do
Reflecting on a determination to prove critics wrong.
Maybe I wasn't lying when I said that
Considering the possibility of honesty in the previous determination.
I'll prove everybody's wrong
Reiterating the delay in celebrating accomplishments.
But now we're eight semesters late
Expressing a sense of being too late to enjoy the fruits of success.
We're too old to celebrate
Regret over missing the graduation ceremony due to irresponsible behavior.
We missed our graduation
Repeating the theme of missing out on graduation due to intoxication.
Coz we were fucking wasted
Reiterating the role of excessive drinking in missing important life events.
Underneath the bleachers
Revisiting moments under the bleachers, emphasizing the physical connection.
Your lipstick on my t-shirt
Recalling the lingering evidence of intimacy with the presence of lipstick on clothing.
It felt so god damn amazing
Emphasizing the intense and positive emotions associated with past experiences.
Everybody said that we weren't good for love
Addressing societal judgments about the suitability of the relationship for love.
We missed our graduation
Repeating the theme of missing graduation due to irresponsible actions.
Coz we were fucking wasted
Reiterating the impact of excessive drinking on missing important life events.
Underneath the bleachers
Recalling moments under the bleachers, emphasizing the physical connection.
Your lipstick on my t-shirt
Reminiscing about the tangible evidence of intimacy with the presence of lipstick on clothing.
It felt so god damn amazing
Expressing the intense and positive emotions associated with past experiences.
Everybody said that we weren't good for love
Addressing societal judgments about the suitability of the relationship for love, possibly with a sense of defiance or irony.
