[Verse 1] On the field where the final school bell echoes out Fresh white lines are drying on the ground Every time we call each other’s names and laugh Something tight inside my chest resounds All the little passing scenes Too fleeting to be framed in any book Every "see you" that we said Never felt like quite enough [Pre-Chorus] [modulation] Scratches on the old desk, scribbled hidden names Suddenly they all turn into precious things All those stupid jokes we shared day after day Bursting from the past, they come alive again [Chorus] [modulation] Graduation, shoulder to shoulder in the photograph Reaching out, I’m still searching for your second button Even if we walk ahead on two different roads All those nights we cried together side by side Wave from deep inside my heart Even when we graduate, I swear forever We will keep on holding hands from now on In the crowded station and on days we lose our way I won’t let go, I won’t let go of you So I can stand beside you, touching your tomorrow [Verse 2] Messages we hid inside the doodles on our desks Eraser dust that dances in the light of afternoon On the way back home at our familiar crossing sign The parting roads we face feel terrifying now Spring wind gently carries us toward our own tomorrows Still the very first name I want to call is yours Simple promises could never even come close I just want you by my side like it’s the most natural thing [Pre-Chorus] [modulation] Fraying at the cuff of this old uniform sleeve Just like this uncertain moment that we’re in I want to tie every fragile thread again And hold this trembling present in our hands [Chorus] [modulation] Graduation, school uniform swaying in the wind This second button is right here on my chest Even if we choose our own and different ways All the seasons that we walked together through the years Never disappear, they’re staying here Even when we graduate, I swear sincerely We will keep on holding hands from now on On the nights we’re close to tears, on mornings we pretend we’re strong I won’t let go, I won’t let go of you So I can reach your heart and touch it without losing my way [Bridge] [modulation] Your name in marker on a cardboard sign Parking lot gravel in brand new shoes Mom keeps crying through the windshield glare You laugh it off I wish I could too Here’s to the caps and Polaroids Shaky hands and cracked old cords We were late to every choice Still we made it Here’s to the halls we carved our names To every almost Every change If this is the end of the story Let’s overrate it [Chorus] [modulation] Graduation, school uniform swaying in the wind This second button is right here on my chest Even if we choose our own and different ways All the seasons that we walked together through the years Never disappear, they’re staying here Even when we graduate, I swear forever We will keep on holding hands from now on Even as the years go by, even when our pathways change I won’t let go, I never want to More than "goodbye" I want "let’s go on together again" Please don’t ever let go of my hand [Outro] Graduation, tiny little promise This second button is right here on my chest Different roads ahead, but I still believe We will always be looking at the same wide sky
