Talking to somebody like you, Do you live the days you go through, Will this song live on long after we do, Can I Graduate. Can I look into the faces that I meet, Can I get my punk-ass off the street. Won't die on the vine I want to knock it all down, Can I Graduate, Echo fading, Candle blow, Did you flash out long ago, Cross my fingers, I don't know someone poked you down below. Can I Graduate, Can I get my punk-ass off the street, Can I look into the faces that I meet, I'm not waiting here for you to die, Will this song live on long after we do. ---------------------------------------------- #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE--------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the# #song.
