The song is about the singer and his girlfriend getting caught up in an unhealthy relationship. They’re both aware of the bad state of the relationship but love each other so deeply that it is hard for them to let it go. Through it all, the singer still wonders if they will ever be able to progress...
[Verse 1]
You and I, we're all or nothing
Climb so high, we're gonna jump in
Darkening skies, we hear the thunder
You and I, surrender
[Chorus]
We make the same mistakes
Ride this wave until it breaks
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
Night drives and wrong turns
Say you'll love me till it hurts
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
[Verse 2]
Bloodshot eyes, under the bleachers
Wasting time, into the future
You and I, surrender
[Chorus]
We make the same mistakes
Ride this wave until it breaks
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
Night drives and wrong turns
Say you'll love me till it hurts
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
[Bridge]
Around we go, to parking lots familiar roads
I know you know, the time has come to let it go
Around we go, dreaming that we'll leave this town
And if we don't, we'll both go down together
[Chorus]
We make the same mistakes
Ride this wave until it breaks
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
Night drives and wrong turns
Say you'll love me till it hurts
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
Tell me honey when we're gonna graduate
