[Intro] Tick-tock, clock is on the wall Open binders in the quiet hall Catch your side profile, lose my mind Summer school’s got me in a bind [Verse 1] Ditched the prep, now I pay the cost Finals coming and I’m total lost Open prep books, try to read a line Catch your eyes and you smile at mine Can’t focus, no, I’m losing grip Catch your perfume, make my mind just slip No. 2 pencil frozen in my hand 3 PM, losing all control, man [Chorus] "Get B's or better across the board, And it's just us two," you said off-hand "We'll hit the road, just drive away, A road trip across the land" Eye contact sparks, the circuit’s cleared One single line and I’m locked in gear [Verse 2] Gas pedal down, fully locked in now Flashcards, red film, gotta pass somehow Chugging Monster, fighting off the sleep Your crooked smile is the promise I keep Don't tell me "just kidding," don't walk away Watch me pull through, watch me save the day You look so surprised, then a quiet grin Big test morning, let the fight begin [Bridge] The bell chimes loud, the blue books out Filling every line, no room for doubt Holding tight to the promise you made Pencil flies fast till the memories fade [Last Chorus] "B's or better on every sheet" That little promise drives my beat Breaking limits, pushing through the wall I'm taking that road trip, winning it all Last single question, whisper a prayer Bell rings out through the quiet air [Outro] Exhale slow, look up at the sky Raised my fist as the time goes by Turn my head to where you stand A subtle little smile, hand in hand
