This was our class graduation song back in 2005—like it was for so many others around that time. Hearing it now takes me straight back to high school, a simpler time before the responsibilities of adulthood kicked in.

I remember thinking it was just a catchy tune at first, easy to sing along with. But now, it hits differently. It reminds me of a time when the biggest worry was passing finals, not juggling work, bills, and everything else life throws at you.

Funny how one song can hold so much nostalgia.

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
