Hey mom we made it almost didn't but we graduated
These growing pains were never meant to last
I used to pretend to drive your car and now i got a license
Promise ill come back to visit you and dad

And distance is just a matter of time
Wipe your tears, ill be alright

Life goes on and we'll be gone but we'll always have the memories of us together
So here's to us and what it was we can bottle up this moment here forever
Cause when the sun comes up we'll have to say goodbye
Life goes on after tonight.....after tonight

My old friends are packed and leaving a thousand lives we'll all be leading
I hope someday our paths cross again
Why do good things end just when your settling
And we did things nobody understands
Ill keep our secrets safe close to my chest

And distance is just a matter of time
Wipe your tears we'll be alright

Life goes on and we'll be gone but we'll always have the memories of us together
So here's to us and what it was we can bottle up this moment here forever
Cause when the sun comes up we'll have to say goodbye
Life goes on after tonight.....after tonight
And distance is just a matter of time
Wipe your tears, we'll be alright

Life goes on and we'll be gone but we'll always have the memories of us together
So here's to us and what it was we can bottle up this moment here forever
Cause when the sun comes up we'll have to say goodbye
Life goes on after tonight.....after tonight
