High School Lows Lyrics

High School Lows

If I'm just a slave to my high school days 

Then when does a boy become a man 

They say at 16 I will get tough and mean 

College prep rally pep peachy keen 

And ill meet a gal and take her to the prom 

And maybe we'll make out by the old viewpoint 

But, there are no gals, no pep rallies, good pals 

Stay away from these high school 

My teacher says that I'm brilliant 

My mother says I'm a star 

My girlfriend just avoids me 

But I still pay for the dinner and the movie 

My room is filled with abandon 

My homework is yet left undone 

I look at pictures of myself as a small child 

All filled with hope and so alive but 

Oh, these high school days 

Take that away, take me away, take me away 

Stress and hard duress replace the hope I had everyday 

All these high school days 

Take that away, take myself away 

If only I could skip forward or back 

The best years of my life oh my god I hope not lets go 

I hope not lets go 

My friends are overachievers 

My love is burning my down 

My left nut has this crazy itch during homeroom 

oh god that girl just saw me scratch my

all control is now spiraling 

my grades look pretty damn low 

I want to motivate myself, but how the hell am I supposed to work 

I do not love these high school days 

Take that away, take me away, take me away

Stress and hard duress replace the hope I had everyday 

All these high school days 

Take that away, I take myself away 

If only I could skip forward or back 

The best years of my life oh my god I hope not lets go 

I hope not lets go 

So listen young boys to the words that I speak 

Heed then and hold them to stay 

Never let go of the cowboy inside 

Or you'll die in your high school days
