shoot your shot

The bell laughs on a warm spring day It's time to go home, they all say She runs to her car, her hair dancing in the wind I still can recall just like I'm re-living it I remember the breeze on my face through the window That familiar drive had always felt like home I wish I could go back and tell her what I've learned I wish I could go back and show her what we've earned Shoot your shot, take a chance Don't be afraid of a little romance and Know who you are and know it well Trust me darling time will tell You never know what you have until it's gone so don't keep saying How you wish that you were older, 'cause that'll leave you praying The clock strikes twelve it's my thirteenth year And I'm almost done with my middle school career Had lots of more chances and first romances And the pandemic stopped all my middle school dances But I got my first guitar, my first kiss, wrote my first song And I tried new things, I let my hair grow long I wish I could go back and tell her what I've learned I wish I could go back and show her what we've earned Shoot your shot, take a chance Don't be afraid of a little romance and Know who you are and know it well Trust me darling time will tell You never know what you have until it's gone so don't keep saying How you wish that you were older, 'cause that'll leave you praying I walk into the building and my first day of high school waits for me I'm nervous for a little while and wonder if I'm where I'm meant to be You gotta shoot your shot, take that chance You can't be afraid of a little romance and Know who you are and know it well Trust me darling time will tell You never know what you have until it's gone so don't keep saying How you wish that you were older, 'cause that'll leave you praying
