Analysis of Sunset on School Self
Don't you see?
you and me
are free?
to do as we please
No uniforms or people to appease
Now we know our A, B, C's
We're off to university
or not
Look into the sunset
and tell me what you see
was it fun? was it rad
or are you glad to pack your bags?
Never coming back
School is over
Never coming back
School is over
oh no we gotta go now
no place to call home now
oh no
Look into the sunset
and tell me what you see
Red sky at night
or cloud cover blocking your sight
Either way you go
I know you're going to have to fight
just fight it fair and fight it right
an epic battle into the night
Never coming back
school is over
Never coming back
school is over
oh no we gotta go now
no place to call home now
oh no
Look into the sunset
and tell me what you see
your lip quivers
and your shoulder shivers
I know that you don't want to face tonight
but its okay and its alright
he'll be with you until you die
