[Chorus]
Welcome to the best days of your life
Bet you can't wait to feel alive
You better have fun while you have the time
But don't you dare rush 'cause you'll be here a while
Welcome to the best time you'll ever have
Follow all the rules and you be bad
If you ever say no, they'll hurt you bad
So keep your head low, that's the best advice you'll ever have
[Verse 1]
I just don't know where to start
What do I say? God, it's so hard
Used to want that teenage dream
But there's so much they don't want you to see
[Pre-Chorus]
They won't like your clothes, no, they won't like your makeup
They told me I would grow, but I'm still only five foot
They'll just watch you fall apart
And you'll be sick of hearing
[Chorus]
Welcome to the best days of your life
Bet you can't wait to feel alive
You better have fun while you have the time
But don't you dare rush 'cause you'll be here a while
Welcome to the best time you'll ever have
Follow all the rules and you be bad
If you ever say no, they'll hurt your back
So keep your head low, that's the best advice you'll ever have
[Verse 2]
Education's all you need
You'll get the skills for your degree
As well as envy expertise
The kids will make you insecure, and now, it seems that
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't like your clothes, no, you don't like your makeup
They told you you should know by now, "You can't sit with us!"
They'll just let you fall apart
And you'll be sick of hearing
[Chorus]
Welcome to the best days of your life
Bet you can't wait to feel alive
You better have fun while you have the time
But don't you dare rush 'cause you'll be here a while
Welcome to the best time you'll ever have
Follow all the rules and you be bad
If you ever say no, they'll hurt your back
So keep your head low, that's the best advice you'll ever have
Welcome to toxic friends
Lose them as they pretend
That your back didn't hurt the knife
Good God, it's just the best time of your life
Welcome to insecurity
Have fun without your sanity
And you'll forget how to smile
Good God, it's just the best time of your life
