Burn The Yearbook

Track 11 - Burn The Yearbook [Lyrics] [Verse 1] Hallway heroes with plastic crowns, Still chasing ghosts of a hometown, Quarterback kings, prom-night queens, Fifteen minutes stretched to fifteen years. Your letterman jacket’s a joke now, dude, The world moved on without you. Clinging to the lockers, stuck in the past, Grow up fast or you’ll finish last. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t care about the names you wrote, All the “most likely” lies in quotes— If life’s a test, then here’s my proof: I set fire to the photographic truth. [Chorus] Burn the yearbook, watch it glow, Ashes where the legends go. Screw the cliques, the trophies too, Your glory days are overdue. Burn the yearbook, let it die, We’re not defined by ‘99. Strike the match, don’t look back, This town’s a cage and we cut the latch! [Verse 2] Cheer squad smiles on yellowed page, Now bitter moms with suburban rage. The band kids play in louder scenes, While homecoming kings lost all their means. Every signature fades with time, But the burn marks stay like battle lines. If the past was gold, then I’ll melt it down, Forge new crowns in another town! [Pre-Chorus] I don’t care about the names you wrote, All the “most likely” lies in quotes— If life’s a test, then here’s my proof: I set fire to the photographic truth. [Chorus] Burn the yearbook, watch it glow, Ashes where the legends go. Screw the cliques, the trophies too, Your glory days are overdue. Burn the yearbook, let it die, We’re not defined by ‘99. Strike the match, don’t look back, This town’s a cage and we cut the latch! [Bridge] Burn it! Burn it! Light it up, don’t turn the page! Burn it! Burn it! High school’s not a golden age! [Final Chorus] Burn the yearbook, watch it glow, Ashes where the legends go. Screw the cliques, the trophies too, Your glory days are overdue. Burn the yearbook, light the flame, We’ll never be the same. Strike the match, don’t look back, We’re moving on and we’re never coming back! [Outro] “Most likely to succeed”? … Yeah, right.
