Lyrics
Wore a gown that was two sizes too big Borrowed shoes and a crooked wig Mom is crying in the third row Dad is filming with his thumb in the shot They call my name, I trip on the stage Nobody cares, I'm turning the page I threw my cap in the air And it never came down Somebody up there is wearing my crown Hey, hey, we made it out Hey, hey, hear us shout I threw my cap in the air And it never came down Four whole years of cold pizza and noise Three of us living with a drum set and toys Hand me a paper with my name inside I can't read it, my eyes are too wide They call my name, I trip on the stage Nobody cares, I'm turning the page I threw my cap in the air And it never came down Somebody up there is wearing my crown Hey, hey, we made it out Hey, hey, hear us shout I threw my cap in the air And it never came down Goodbye to the hallway, goodbye to the bell Goodbye to the locker that never would shut Thanks to the teacher who let me play loud Thanks to my friends for the noise and the crowd I threw my cap in the air And it never came down Somebody up there is wearing my crown Hey, hey, we made it out Hey, hey, hear us shout I threw my cap in the air And it never came down It never came down It never came down
