about

The second single from my upcoming debut album. Hope you like it!

lyrics

There's nothing like nostalgia to get me started
On a trip back down memory lane
Four years we spent together before we parted
Popping bottles of cheap champagne

But tell me, how did we end up with a degree?
We spent time recklessly
Little work, lots of play
But today we will say

The world is ours despite those endless hours of procrastination
Raise a glass, raise a glass to graduation day
Our future's bright, so we must make tonight a celebration
Raise a glass, raise a glass to graduation day

And soon we'll all be pulled in a new direction
Separate paths, but it's not goodbye
We walked this road together, built a connection
Which will last 'til the day we die

And we know that we will seize all opportunities
The possibilities never end
So make way, 'cos today is our day

The world is ours despite those endless hours of procrastination
Raise a glass, raise a glass to graduation day
Our future's bright, so we must make tonight a celebration
Raise a glass, raise a glass to graduation day

There's nothing like nostalgia to get me started
'Cos I had hopes and dreams, now they've long departed
How did things get so bad?
Still live with mum and dad
I miss the fun we had
Take me back, take me back to graduation day

When the world was ours despite those endless hours of procrastination
Raise a glass, raise a glass to graduation day
Our future's bright, or so it seemed that night
Take me back, take me back to graduation day
