Graduation

Four years of "God, I hate this place"
And forced smiles through gritted teeth
Looking for something to fill the space

I think you're smarter than I was
Just shy of 17
And I wish that I knew then
What you know now because for so long

I was losing sleep for nothing
The best years of my life were coming

Making plans on the floor in my parents' basement
Saying if we're lucky we won't need a graduation
I don't know how I ever lived without you
But I'm a little bit better now (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
I'm a little bit better now (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
I'm a little bit better now (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

The best advice comes at 2 a.m.
Spilling mixed drinks on the couch
Playing the same songs 'til we hate them
I call you when I feel insane
And you call me on my shit
To stop treating life like a test
'Cause we're all guessing anyway

Making plans on the floor in my parents' basement
Saying if we're lucky we won't need a graduation
I don't know how I ever lived without you
But I'm a little bit better now (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
I'm a little bit better now (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
I'm a little bit better now (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
I'm a little bit better now (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

I was losing sleep for nothing (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
The best years of my life keep coming (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

Making plans on the floor in my parents' basement
Saying if we're lucky we won't need a graduation
I don't know how I ever lived without you
But I'm a little bit better now
I'm a little bit better now
Just a little bit better now
(A little bit better now)
I'm a little bit better now
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)
