about

Written and recorded by Michael R. Sanchez during the Spring of 2005.

lyrics

8th Grade

it's so fucking clear
how it's gonna be
between you and me

it's so very clear
how it'll be now with me over here

and you over there
nothing can compare
to acting how we did
when we were in 8th grade

it's always the same
you win or lose the again
win or lose a friend

the rest of junior year
will never be the same
with me over here

and you over there
nothing can compare
to acting how we did
when we were in 8th grade

boys boast in the locker room
girls purge in the john
everyone is worrying
about which team they'll be on

and it's always the same
can we just be friends?
it's all up to your cool
like it was back in high school
