Aliens in Our Yearbook

เนื้อเพลง

[Verse 1] We packed our lunches in the gym at nine Mia brought maps and a lemon-lime The bus rolled past the old wind farm With permission slips tucked under arms [Pre-Chorus] Then the teacher yelled, “Look left!” A silver saucer passed the test It landed by the science shed And three green faces raised their heads [Chorus] Hey, we’re on a school trip to the edge of the blue Making brand-new friends where the strange skies come through They don’t know our homework, we don’t know their names So we trade them our stickers and they show us their games Hey, everybody wave, let the whole bus cheer The universe feels smaller when your friends are near [Verse 2] They spoke in clicks like spoons in a cup We drew a picture and they caught right up Their spaceship hummed a three-note tune And showed us Saturn’s afternoon [Pre-Chorus] Coach Ramirez dropped his whistle twice The aliens laughed, which sounded nice We shared our juice and a bag of chips They taught us how to moonwalk with six hips [Chorus] Hey, we’re on a school trip to the edge of the blue Making brand-new friends where the strange skies come through They don’t know our homework, we don’t know their names So we trade them our stickers and they show us their games Hey, everybody wave, let the whole bus cheer The universe feels smaller when your friends are near [Bridge] When the bell back home rings out at three We’ll keep one secret from history A tiny green handprint on my notebook page And a promise to visit their neighborhood someday [Final Chorus] Hey, we’re on a school trip and the stars came true With a bus full of laughter and a sky turned new We don’t need a spaceship to cross any distance Just a friend saying, “Come on,” and a little persistence Hey, everybody wave, let the whole bus cheer The universe feels smaller when your friends are near [Outro] Back to school tomorrow, but we’ll never be the same Aliens in our yearbook, friendship in their name
