Graduation (Friends Forever)

So we talked all night about the rest of our lives

Where we're gonna be when we turn 25

I keep thinking times will never change.

Keep on thinking things will always be the same

But when we leave this year we won’t be come back

No more hanging out cause were on a different track

And if you got something that you need to say

You better say it right now cause you don‘t have another day

Cause were moving on and we can’t slow down

These memories are playing like a film without sound

And I keep thinking of that night in June

I didn’t know much of love but it came too soon

And there was me and you

And then we got real cool

Stay at home talking on the telephone

We’d get so excited, we’d get so scared

Laughing at ourselves thinking life’s not fair

And this is how it feels...

As we go on, we remember

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, come whatever

We will still be, friends forever

So if we get the big jobs

And we make the big money

When we look back now

Will our jokes still be funny?

Will we still remember everything we learned in school?

Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?

Can Heather find a job that won’t interfere with her tan?

I keep, I keep thinking that it’s not goodbye

Keep on thinking it’s a time to fly

And this is how it feels....

As we go on, we remember

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, come whatever

We will still be, friends forever

As we go on, we remember

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, come whatever

We will still be, friends forever

As we go on, we remember

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, come whatever

We will still be, friends forever

毕业

我们曾整夜讨论以后的生活

不知25岁时我们会在哪里

我坚持认为时代不会更替

坚持认为事物会亘古不变

但当今年离开，我们就不再回来

不会再呆在一起，因为我们会过着不同的生活

如果你有需要讲的话

最好现在就说吧，因为你不可能再多有一天

因为我们在往前走，不能放慢脚步

记忆就像在播放无声电影

我经常想起六月的那个夜晚

我对爱还了解太少

但它又来得太快

我和你在一起

我们获得了真正的自信

呆在家里和我在电话里聊天

我们兴奋，也很害怕

自嘲自乐，认为生活不公

这就是全部的感受

当生活继续，我们记得

所有我们在一起的时光

当生活在改变，但无论发生什么

我们仍然永远是朋友

如果我们身居要职、赚得很多钱

当我们回顾今天

是否我们的玩笑仍然有趣？

是否仍然记得我们在学校里学到的一切？

是否还试着触犯每一个条例？

是否聪明的小鲍比会成为股票经纪人？

我们能否找到不会影响我们晒成棕褐色的工作？

我坚持，坚持认为这并不是再见

坚持认为已到了展翅高飞的时候

这就是全部的感受

当生活继续，我们记得

所有我们在一起的时光

当生活在改变，但无论发生什么

我们仍然永远是朋友

当生活继续，我们记得

所有我们在一起的时光

当生活在改变，但无论发生什么

我们仍然永远是朋友

当生活继续，我们记得

所有我们在一起的时光

当生活在改变，但无论发生什么

我们仍然永远是朋友
