Fast Times At Claremont High Lyrics
I was saving myself for you.
I was saving myself for you.
I was saving myself for you.
Tonight we'll be throwing a party.
Under the sunset we started to drink.
A little faster now.
The celebration, so many faces.
I say the words as the moon painted us blue.
I've been saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I waited my whole life for you.
'Cause I was saving myself for you.
You better bring that beat back.
Now hold on, this is innocent blood, all the beach boys look like sharks.
Oh, because without you nothing ever mattered.
I scream and wave my arms, but you dont understand me.
Now as I watch them feed on you, it's over.
If I die, you die, too.
Because I'm saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I waited my whole life for you.
'Cause I was saving myself for you.
I just wanted one dance with you.
And one night under the smoke alarm.
Every single door in this house is on fire!
So melodramatic, but it turns me on.
I close my eyes it feels just like a movie.
I'm convinced that we don't make sense.
But, I'd kill anyone who gets close.
I've been saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
The sharpest thing I find for you.
'Cause I was saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I saved myself for you.
Don't you know I'd die for you.
I saved myself for you.
Without you, what's the point?
I was saving myself for you.
I was saving myself for you.
Under the sunset we started to drink.
A little faster now.
The celebration, so many faces.
I say the words as the moon painted us blue.
I've been saving myself for you.
I waited my whole life for you.
'Cause I was saving myself for you.
You better bring that beat back.
Oh, because without you nothing ever mattered.
I scream and wave my arms, but you dont understand me.
Now as I watch them feed on you, it's over.
If I die, you die, too.
I've been saving myself for you.
I waited my whole life for you.
'Cause I was saving myself for you.
I just wanted one dance with you.
And one night under the smoke alarm.
I close my eyes it feels just like a movie.
I'm convinced that we don't make sense.
But, I'd kill anyone who gets close.
I've been saving myself for you.
The sharpest thing I find for you.
'Cause I was saving myself for you.
I've been saving myself for you.
I saved myself for you.
Don't you know I'd die for you.
I saved myself for you.
Without you, what's the point?

Fast Times At Clairemont High "This is a very selfish song that basically says, "If I can't have you, then no one can." I think this has gone through everyone's head at least a couple times in their life. The theme of this album talks about these natural thoughts and feelings to want and take--the desire to be in love and the desperation for someone else to love you. This song deals with human nature and our selfish tendencies. I like the music because it has a hint of Michael Jackson influence." -from vic himself :)

Clairemont! With an 'i' lol.
and you hear Vic at the end talking.. I think he says " If I can't, what's the point? "
Clairemont High School?
that's the school they attended? They are from San Diego by the way.
i'm pretty sure they went to mission bay. they probably used clairemont bc it sounds more like ridgemont, hence the movie fast times at ridgemont high.

or at least mike and vic went to mission bay. i think tony and jaime went somewhere more towards the eastern county.

I'm almost positive Mike and Vic went to Clairemont High. And they probably used Clairemont High instead of Ridgemont because the movie was filmed at Clairemont High.

they went to mission bay and their neighborhood may have been clairemont high because im from San Diego I went to kearny which is down the street. Clairemont is literally right up the street if you take clairemont mesa blvd it will take u straight to MBHS... its super common for CHS MBHS and KHS to hang together along with Madison the 4 of us made a triangle in location.

It is Clairemont High School in San Diego. Not to be confused with Claremont High School in Calremont California. I don't know who this band is but if they went too Mission Bay High School is about two miles down the hill from Clairemnot.They got the words from the fact that Cameron Crowe was allowed to go to Clairemont HS posing as a student after he graduated from the University of San Diego HS.He did this to get material to write his book Fast Times at Ridgemont High that we all know the movie.He was also a jounalist for Rolling Stone Magazine when he was 16 and toured with The Allman Brothers Band for three weeks interviewing the entire crew. The movie Almost Famous was based on that. Another fact you may not know is that Frank Zappa also attended Mission Bay HS
instead of "I see the waves as the moon paints us over." I hear "I see the words as the moon painted us blue."
