[Lyric] Class of 23 (Caitlyn Tibbles)

[Verse One]
Went in thinking it'd be forever
I'd get out by being under the weather
It'd be four years and feel like four more
And now college is knocking at my door
At my door
At my door
I didn't think I'd get this far
Wanted to drop out and go be a star
Thought I'd be gone by the end of eighth grade
But it's been a couple years
And I think I'm doing great

[Chorus]
I didn't think I'd wear my cap and gown
I didn't think I'd make my parents proud
Make countless days feel like a breeze
Finally sleeping in past 6:15
I didn't know I'd make it to senior year
Submit that last test and be out of here
God, I can't wait to leave this town
I finally wore my cap and gown
[Verse Two]
Everyone I ever knew is out of here
And new opportunities bring new fears
Why is everything so uncertain?
I wanna put up a blackout curtain
I didn't think I could get this far
Are my elementary desires up to par?
In my head I'm still a kid
But after tonight
Our real life begins

[Chorus]
I didn't think I'd wear my cap and gown
I didn't think I'd make my parents proud
Make countless days feel like a breeze
Finally sleeping in past 6:15
I didn't know I'd make it to senior year
Submit that last test and be out of here
God, I can't wait to leave this town
I finally wore my cap and gown

[Bridge]
I wanna go back to kindergarten
When learning shapes was just the hardest
Twelve long years went by too fast
And every single one felt like a drag
I couldn't wait to finally leave
I don't wanna leave
I don't wanna leave
Please don't make me leave
I'm not ready to leave
[Chorus]
I didn't think I'd wear my cap and gown
I didn't think I'd make my parents proud
Make countless days feel like a breeze
Finally sleeping in past 6:15
I didn't know I'd make it to senior year
Submit that last test and be out of here
God, I can't wait to leave this town
I finally wore my cap and gown
