Since First Grade

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] The checkered backpack damp with September sweat White chalk dust on our hands from skipping class [Verse 1] I remember the first day, mom still held my hand You raised your hand to sit by me at the last desk At seven we knew nothing but shuttlecock play Yet promised we'd play together forever after [Pre-Chorus] Summer after summer through so many bus tickets We grew up along the same little alley lane [Chorus] Since first grade we were Two puzzle pieces since our schoolbag days Since first grade we were Standing side by side through every class [Verse 2] The wasp sandals worn at the heel still walked the whole town You drew me on scrap paper as a superhero We stood outside the door punished together, unafraid With a friend beside, every punishment became a joke [Chorus] Since first grade we were Two puzzle pieces since our schoolbag days Since first grade we were Standing side by side through every class [Bridge] Years keep flowing, the classroom turned to memory But that seven-year-old still sits right here Though someday half the earth apart [Chorus] Since first grade we were Two puzzle pieces since our schoolbag days Since first grade we were Standing side by side through every class [Outro] From first grade till now Still those two same kids [Fade Out] [End]
