Hall Pass Hearts

Lyrics

[Verse 1] First bell crack in the dark You slid in late with your backpack half-zipped Ink on your cuff, gym shoes scuffed Smiling like you already skipped the rules Locker doors slam like a drum Your name in Sharpie on a peeled-up note I had my books, you had your grin And one bad joke that made me choke [Pre-Chorus] We were ten feet apart And somehow way too close Passing secrets in the hall Like folded paper ghosts [Chorus] High school, high school We were still burning new High school, high school Trying to act so cool With our hall pass hearts And our sneakers worn through High school, high school It was me and you [Verse 2] Bleachers cold under my hands Friday crowd yelling for a runaway score You wore that red band on your wrist I watched you laugh from the gym door Cafeteria trays and cheap fries Trigonometry and borrowed pens Every little thing felt huge Like it might not come again [Pre-Chorus] We were all sharp edges And all soft at once Learning how to leave a mark Without giving up too much [Chorus] High school, high school We were still burning new High school, high school Trying to act so cool With our hall pass hearts And our sneakers worn through High school, high school It was me and you [Bridge] Summer came with broken plans Parking lot heat and a different sky Names carved deep in the desk Then gone when the year rolled by But I still see that look When the last bell hit the day Like the whole world cracked open And nobody knew what to say [Chorus] High school, high school We were still burning new High school, high school Trying to act so cool With our hall pass hearts And our sneakers worn through High school, high school It was me and you [Outro] First bell, last laugh Faded in the rearview glass High school, high school Still holding on to that pass
