[Verse]
In my first year of high school, I got thrown in a lake
Then the school bell rang, and I got back late
My hands were still tied behind my back
My teacher didn't care that I'd been attacked
[Pre Chorus]
I remember holding my breath, and how I lost a shoe
Swimming with your hands on your back isn't easy to do
I never wanted trouble, from anyone
But little did I know my life had just begun
[Chorus]
I've been thinking bout high school
And how I didn't have any friends
Still, I didn't want to grow up
I just wanted to play pretend
I don't know where the years have gone
Or how I've stayed alivе this long
But I'm holding on, I'm holding on
[Verse]
In my third year of high school, I got punched in the facе
It was the most alive that I'd felt in days
I'd had a couple drinks and went to queue a song
According to him, I must have done something wrong
[Pre Chorus]
I remember landing on my back and hitting my head
Everyone around us gasped and thought that I was dead
I never wanted trouble, from anyone
But little did I know my life had just begun
[Chorus]
I've been thinking bout high school
And how I didn't have any friends
Still, I didn't want to grow up
I just wanted to play pretend
I don't know where the years have gone
Or how I've stayed alive this long
But I'm holding on, I'm holding on yeah
[Chorus]
I've been thinking bout high school
And how I didn't have any friends
Still, I didn't want to grow up
I just wanted to play pretend
I don't know where the years have gone
Or how I've stayed alive this long
But I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I'm holding on
