yearbook Lyrics

One foot in front of the other

I thought that I could take this step by step

Now I regret how I'm someone else in their eyes

A star student but I'm really not that wise

I'm in disguise

Mmm, Mmm

I'm here undercover, content with how I go day by day

But it's not the same as things being so straightforward

I'd breeze by, but now it's hard to stand that tall

Things start to fall

Unused planners, unread books

What's wrong with me?

Guess I mistook my final year, I couldn't stand

Thought I'd be best but things just don't go to plan

If I knew that my year would be like this

I'd wipe the smile off my senior pics

And rip those photos into bits

If I could go back in time

I'd tell myself that third place shouldn't be a crime

I expect every moment's prime

All four years I've done for show

But none of them taught me to grow

Mmm, Mmm

Ooh, Ooh

I take some things for granted

But then again it's nice to have responsibilities

Or is that what they're telling me?

Maybe I bruise myself up

So that I do the things they want to see and not for me

Walk the long road, not head first

I should know that there are things far worse

I have my whole life to go through

But I can't help the fact I wish I knew

If I knew that my year would be like this

I'd wipe the smile off my senior pics

And rip those photos into bits

If I could go back in time

I'd tell myself that third place shouldn't be a crime

I expect every moment's prime

All four years I've done for show

But none of them taught me to grow

Portraits never turned out well

That was one thing I could tell

Got some shame I could erase

Still, I'd change that look on my face

New year, same me

And the rest is history

I'm next in line to change my life one step at a time

I knew that my year would be like this

Now it's something I'll never miss

Change was all I could ever wish
