School Friends Video (MV)

We started out as playground pals
And with you I feel safe and sound
BFFs, we cheerfully vowed
You talk
I listen
I convince myself it's friendship
What a wonderful companion I've found
I envision us in our college days
Your wedding where I'm an eager bridesmaid
But soon, I'm shaken from my blissful daze
When middle school comes and changes everything
None of our classes coincide
Your hallway's worlds apart from mine
Our friendship disintegrates with time
And I learn to put you out of mind
I thought we'd be together until the end
But we were nothing more than school friends
Through the semesters we seem to get closer
But what happens?
What happens?
When the school year is over
We'll grow apart as we grow older
That's what happens
That's what happens
And I'll lend you a listening ear
But we won't even talk next year
I know on you I never could depend
Because we're only school friends
In math class, you sit next to me
And cheerily compliment my clothes
We start to talk and notice that a
Small flame grows
We share lunchtime laughs
Using each other as distractions
But this time I know it'll never last and
Our flame will soon dim
Because there's no true connection
And I'll be all alone again
Because we're nothing more
Than school friends
Through the semesters we seem to get closer
But what happens?
What happens?
When the school year is over
We'll grow apart as we grow older
That's what happens
That's what happens
And I'll lend you a listening ear
But we won't even talk next year
I know on you I never could depend
Because we're only school friends
I long for a best friend
Someone who I can share my heart with
Someone who really gets it
Someone who I don't have to pretend with
But I've only ever had school friends
With superficial conversations
I've had a major revelation
That I've had few meaningful relationships
We always start to fade
And dissipate
Until their time spent with me's
Just a memory of a
Distant day
I have faith
It won't always be this way
And someone will be here to stay
But it remains
Through the semesters we seem to get closer
But what happens?
What happens?
When the school year is over
We'll grow apart as we grow older
That's what happens
That's what happens
Through the semesters we seem to get closer
But what happens?
What happens?
When the school year is over
We'll grow apart as we grow older
That's what happens
That's what happens
And I'll lend you a listening ear
But we won't even talk next year
There's no point in trying to make amends
Since this will never ascend
I know on you I never could depend
Because we're only school friends
