V5.5

[VERSE 1] Wrapping up building a float In a corner of the yard Jumping on the trampoline And working so hard Making our dreams of winning Homecoming Come alive in a blizzard of poms And Elmer's glue Drinking by the bonfire last night Where were you? [PRECHORUS] When the eggs came flying in from the road The line in the and was crossed and fired Off the hormone overload [CHORUS] Launching paint grenades from the Back of a blue Toyota.... Into a crowd of screaming High school seniors... Shooting paintballs into the throng With no discretion... What was the lesson here Wasn't always clear But we thought we'd live forever [VERSE 2] Working every night til ten Right after school Running out for supplies And various tools Striking How vibrant those memories Being so alive and young with no Responsibilities [CHORUS] Launching paint grenades from the Back of a blue Toyota.... Into a crowd of screaming High school seniors... Shooting paintballs into the throng With no discretion... What was the lesson here Wasn't always clear But we thought we'd live forever [VERSE 3] The biggest feast of the year On the night before the game Fresh lobster and steak served up To everyone one who paid Finishing off that float was the W No matter where we placed The ties that bound us Could never be erased. [CHORUS] Launching paint grenades from the Back of a blue Toyota.... Into a crowd of screaming High school seniors... Shooting paintballs into the throng With no discretion... What was the lesson here Wasn't always clear But we thought we'd liv forever [VERSE 4] Our team won the game As we screamed from the stands Throwing around the blow up doll Like a beach ball in our hands The next night we danced Some for the first time in their lives It was a year to remember As the rest passed so fast Right before our eyes [FINAL CHORUS] Launching our last hurrahs from the Back of a blue Toyota.... Into the face of time Looking back on it Surreal in my mind With no discretion... What was the lesson here... Wasn't always clear But we thought we would liv forever Just like the songs told us We would liv forever In the corners of our minds Those times will Liv forever
