Lyrics
I remember 8th grade
I recall my experiences in the 8th grade.
Front and center on stage
Being prominently positioned on stage.
Vow to never break ties
Making a commitment to maintain close connections.
Text me now i don't mind
Asking to be contacted now, indicating a willingness to communicate.
Never felt so alone
Experiencing a profound sense of isolation.
I just wanna go home
Expressing a desire to return home.
Can't be sad we're grown up
Acknowledging that it's not appropriate to be sad as adults.
Welcome to the cry club
Welcome to the "cry club," possibly a metaphor for shared emotional struggles.
We watch as each get pulled out
Observing others being taken away or influenced.
Serenaded, dragged down
Being sung to and pulled down into the party scene.
Into every party scene
Being part of every social event.
She used to be one of us
Referring to someone who used to belong to the same group.
One less in the cry club
One less person experiencing emotional struggles.
I guess they aren't what they seem
Doubting the genuineness of appearances.
Dreams bigger than we were
Having aspirations larger than our capabilities.
Some fade out by summer
Some dreams fade away before summer ends.
Losing them like airplanes
Losing dreams like losing airplanes, emphasizing their fleeting nature.
Come and go all the same
Things come and go in a predictable manner.
Isn't it what we want
Questioning if this is what we truly desire.
Close our eyes and it's gone
Closing our eyes, and it's all gone.
Something doesn't feel right
Sensing that something feels wrong.
I'm not at the other side
Not being on the other side of a situation.
I just wanna make it
Expressing a strong desire to achieve something.
What if i don't make it?
Pondering the possibility of not achieving the goal.
Dreaming of the greatest
Dreaming of reaching the pinnacle of success.
Slipping out of my hands
Feeling that the dream is slipping away.
We watch as each get pulled out
Observing others being taken away or influenced (repeated).
Serenaded, dragged down
Being sung to and pulled down into the party scene (repeated).
Into every party scene
Being part of every social event (repeated).
She used to be one of us
Referring to someone who used to belong to the same group (repeated).
One less in the cry club
One less person experiencing emotional struggles (repeated).
I guess they aren't what they seem
Doubting the genuineness of appearances (repeated).
