Cap and Gown, Cardboard Stage
by Moth Static
“A borrowed gown, a cap that won't stay on, and a cardboard stage. I wanted it to feel like one big shaky grin.”

Lyrics
Borrowed gown too long for me Cap that won't stay on Folding chairs in rows of blue And a gym that smells of dawn They call my name out slowly I walk across the floor Everybody's clapping Like I've never walked before Throw your cap up in the air Everything is waiting there We made it here, we made it through The sky is wide and so are you Throw your cap up in the air Look how far we came Parents holding up their phones Friends are crying too Teachers shake our hands and say We always knew you'd do it, you Summer's at the window The hallway's growing small I'll keep this little moment Better than them all Throw your cap up in the air Everything is waiting there We made it here, we made it through The sky is wide and so are you Throw your cap up in the air Look how far we came Hold on to the faces Hold on to the day Wherever the road leads us We'll remember it this way Throw your cap up in the air Everything is waiting there We made it here, we made it through The sky is wide and so are you Throw your cap up in the air Look how far we came Look how far we came Look how far
