Signed Across Each Other's Shirts

Lyrics

The last bell hasn't rung yet, but we're already loud
Desks pushed to the corners, a laughing, spilling crowd
Marker pens are out now, we're drawing on our sleeves
Names we'll know for ever, and the ones we'll hardly leave

Pack the bags, hold the door
One more corridor to run
One more time before it's done

Sign it across each other's shirts
Sign it in the gold of the afternoon
Every little thing that ever hurt
Turns to something we can sing out loud
Ink will fade and summer will come
But we were here, and we were young
Sign it across each other's shirts
The last day sings us out, sings us on

Mr. Aldane's got his coat on, he's pretending not to see
The whole back row is signing up for what we're going to be
Someone's got a speaker, someone's got a plan
Down the stairs together, hand in hand in hand

Pack the bags, hold the door
One more corridor to run
One more time before it's done

Sign it across each other's shirts
Sign it in the gold of the afternoon
Every little thing that ever hurt
Turns to something we can sing out loud
Ink will fade and summer will come
But we were here, and we were young
Sign it across each other's shirts
The last day sings us out, sings us on

Quiet for a moment, the playground in the sun
Every one of us is thinking of the ones who'll be gone
Hold the gate a little longer, let the moment stay
Then we throw our arms up wide and run the whole way

Sign it across each other's shirts
Sign it in the gold of the afternoon
Every little thing that ever hurt
Turns to something we can sing out loud
Ink will fade and summer will come
But we were here, and we were young
Sign it across each other's shirts
The last day sings us out, sings us on

Sign it, sign it, the last day sings us on
