Lyrics
Last bell rings and the hallway sings Markers out like we're signing wings Blue pen, red pen, name in a heart Nobody wants to be first to part Hold the door, one more minute Summer's calling, but we're still in it Sign my shirt, sign my sleeve Write your name so I don't leave Every laugh in a loop of ink Wear it close, don't forget, don't think Sign my shirt, sign my sleeve Hold this day like you believe We were here, we were loud and young Last day sunshine on everyone Lockers empty, the corridor's wide Folded notes in my back pocket's side Teacher waves with a wet-eyed grin Says go on now, let the next one in Hold the door, one more minute Summer's calling, but we're still in it Sign my shirt, sign my sleeve Write your name so I don't leave Every laugh in a loop of ink Wear it close, don't forget, don't think Sign my shirt, sign my sleeve Hold this day like you believe We were here, we were loud and young Last day sunshine on everyone Years from now in a box somewhere A faded shirt and a tangle of hair I'll read your name and I'll hear you say We had it all on the last school day Sign my shirt, sign my sleeve Write your name so I don't leave Every laugh in a loop of ink Wear it close, don't forget, don't think Sign my shirt, sign my sleeve Hold this day like you believe We were here, we were loud and young Last day sunshine on everyone Sign my shirt, sign my sleeve Last day sunshine, don't leave
