Lyrics
Today is the greatest day of our young lives
Expressing that today is a significant and positive day in their youth.
I look back at what I've known for so long
Reflecting on the familiar things known for a long time.
Today is the day we leave our past behind
Emphasizing that today marks a departure from their past.
Today we say our last goodbyes
Mentioning the final farewells that are being said on this day.
Memories in the back of my mind
Recalling memories lingering in the background of the speaker's mind.
Held close by until the day that I die
Highlighting the enduring nature of these memories until death.
Good luck my friends make it to the end
Wishing luck to friends and urging them to persevere until the end.
I wish you all the best until we meet again
Expressing good wishes until they meet again in the future.
I can't believe it seems like yesterday
Expressing disbelief at how quickly time has passed since their youth.
Just kids and now it's time to grow up
Acknowledging the transition from being kids to the necessity of growing up.
That thought makes me feel sick now I want to cry
Expressing discomfort and sadness at the idea of growing up and being separated.
Separated for the rest of our lives
Stating that they will be separated for the rest of their lives.
I don't know why it turned out this way
Expressing confusion or lamenting about the unexpected turn of events.
We always thought things would work out OK
Recalling the past belief that things would work out positively.
Now I see everybody telling me what I must be
Observing others telling the speaker what they should be now.
When all I want to do is go back in time with you
Expressing a desire to go back in time, possibly to relive moments with others.
Today is the saddest day of our young lives
Stating that today is a sad day in their youth.
Today we go our separate ways
Mentioning the separation and going in different directions on this day.
The sky's the limit for each one of us
Encouraging each person to aim high and have limitless aspirations.
Make good with everything you've got
Advising to make the best of everything available to them.
