We Flunked, Then We Laughed

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] The result sheet sticks to the palm of my hand The red numbers like a small cut [Verse 1] The afternoon cafeteria bustles with whispers You slide the paper to me and shake your head I read my worst grade ever Instead of crying, you invite me to the corner shop [Pre-Chorus] Some scold, some are disappointed Only you sit beside and say come on, we'll get through [Chorus] We failed then we laughed For with a friend beside, every stumble is light We failed then we laughed Failing became a happy memory [Verse 2] We draw a redo plan on a napkin Cross out each subject, promise to pass together Laughter drowns the teacher shouting outside For with each other, failure even smells sweet [Chorus] We failed then we laughed For with a friend beside, every stumble is light We failed then we laughed Failing became a happy memory [Bridge] People leave when results are bad Only you stay to study with me Friendship grows firm from the times we flunked [Chorus] We failed then we laughed For with a friend beside, every stumble is light We failed then we laughed Failing became a happy memory [Outro] Flunk or pass, still laugh With a friend, we get through it all [Fade Out] [End]
