My Favorite English Teacher

(Verse 1)  
College application on my desk, don’t even wanna look at it  
Feelin’ scared to think about what I might miss  
All the kids I grew up with, memories so bright  
Homecoming week, those Friday nights  

(Pre-Chorus)  
My favorite English teacher, early practices, making fun of freshmen  
Football games at night, screaming loud, we’d never forget then  
Yelling “Go, Fight, Win,” 
When I see those colors, I start to cry  

(Chorus)  
High school wasn’t perfect, no, it had its scars  
But it was the best time of my life, beneath those stars  
Laughs and tears, friends who made me whole  
Those memories live deep in my soul  
Yeah, high school wasn’t perfect, but it was my time to fly  
The best years of my life, I’ll keep them inside  

(Verse 2)  
Late nights with friends, dreaming ‘bout the future’s glow  
Dances and heartbreak, learning as I go  
Every moment, every smile, every tear I’ve known  
Built the person I am, made me feel at home  

(Pre-Chorus)  
My favorite English teacher, early practices, making fun of freshmen  
Football games at night, screaming loud, we’d never forget then  
Yelling “Go, Fight, Win,” with all my might  
When I see those colors, I start to cry  

(Chorus)  
High school wasn’t perfect, no, it had its scars  
But it was the best time of my life, beneath those stars  
Laughs and tears, friends who made me whole  
Those memories live deep in my soul  
Yeah, high school wasn’t perfect, but it was my time to fly  
The best years of my life, I’ll keep them inside  

(Bridge)  
Now I stand here, with a future in my hands  
But I’ll never forget those days, those plans  
They shaped me, made me who I am today  
High school’s forever in my heart to stay  

(Chorus)  
High school wasn’t perfect, no, it had its scars  
But it was the best time of my life, beneath those stars  
Laughs and tears, friends who made me whole  
Those memories live deep in my soul  
Yeah, high school wasn’t perfect, but it was my time to fly  
The best years of my life, I’ll keep them inside  

(Outro)  
College can't wait, but I’ll hold on tight  
To those years that felt so right
