Class Is in Session Songtext
von Freckleface

Feels like summer started yesterday
Time flies when every day′s the same
I forgot to enjoy my life
By looking forward all the time

I thought I'd end up more tanned
But I didn′t do what I had planned
The best years of my life
Just seem to slip out of sight

Off to meet everyone again
In this town everything stays the same
This summer wasn't the endless one
But I'll try again the next year around

What do you wanna be when you grow up?
I wanna be a musician
Don′t be ridiculous, be realistic

As I skip through the school yard
Butterflies won′t leave my mind
Familiar faces I see plenty
One of the seats was empty


One of the seats was empty
And it's surreal
′Cause young people don't
They don′t do that
They don't die, you know?
We′ll live forever
We have this long life ahead of us
All these dreams we'll get to fulfill
This wide world we'll get to explore
All the love we′ll get to experience
Just gone in a whim
And it could′ve just as well been me
But you never know
You never expect it
Death
You'll ponder it
You′ll make an effort to be aware of it
But it's still always a surprise
Because deep down I
I think deep down we don′t believe we'll actually have to go through with it
Your grandparents have to
Your parents and friends and everyone else has to, but me?
No
I don′t think you really get it until it happens
And all of these material things I surrounds myself with
They're all fleeting
They won't make me immortal
No matter how hard my brain tries to convince me of it
You can′t bring any luggage with you on your flight to Heaven, you know?
Nor can you buy that ticket with any amount of money
It′s paid in blood, you know?
I might've had my last breakfast this morning
I wouldn′t know
I might say, "Oh I'll finish this tomorrow"
But tomorrow might never come around for me
Might lay my head on my pillow for the last time tonight and then
Off to meet God

One of the seats was empty
And on that day
I became mortal
