Paper Chase Lyrics

Please stand by
We've come so far
These years we survived
The ride that turned us inside out

Repeat after me
Just scream and shout
It was the best of times
From broken homes and battlescars
To where we are

Graduate, paper chase
We'll get out of this place
Don't turn around
Hit the highway
Pour some liquor out for this town
Now that's all for us, it's last call
Drink up

Roll it out
It's over now
We're the castouts
With messed up friends
Who never did fit in

Don't care where it ends
Doesn't matter now
As long as we're as one
We'll take the next bus
Destination: setting sun

Graduate, paper chase
We'll get out of this place
Don't turn around
Hit the highway
Pour some liquor out for this town
Now that's all for us, it's last call
Drink up (x2)

This is an open invite for all to attend
Don't ask too many questions now
Don't tell us how it ends
'Cause we're the ones who wrote the end

Graduate, paper chase
We'll get out of this place
Don't turn around
Hit the highway
Pour some liquor out for this town
Now that's all for us, it's last call
Drink up (x2)

The lyrics in the booklet are:

"Please stand by, we've come so far Four years, we survived the ride that turned us inside out Repeat after me, just scream and shout "It was the best of times from broken homes and battles scars to where we are."

Graduate, paper chase, we'll get out of this place. Don't turn around. Hit the highway, pour some liquor out for this town. Now that's all for us, it's last call drink up.

Roll it out, it's over now. We're the cast-outs with messed up friends who never did fit in. Don't know where it ends. It doesn't matter now, as long as we're as one, we'll take the next bus destination setting sun.

This is an open invitation for all to attend. Don't ask too many questions now. Don't tell us how it ends, because we're the ones who wrote the end."

I love this song...i actually love the entire album. i know the booklets says 'dont know where it ends but it clearly says 'care where it ends' on my version and 'open invitation' also is pretty clearly 'open invite'. pretty nit picky things but yeah.

Narrator and his friends graduate from high school. They reminisce about the good times, the bad times, and then they drive off to get wasted or something.

I'm done here.
