​You are my best friends
Our fun will never end
Believe when I say
I want it that way
 
But we are moving apart
High school is a fresh start
When you say
That I want it that way

​Tell me why
We’ve done the work and got the grades
Tell me why
We’ve learnt a lot, We’ve made mistakes
Tell me why
So now its time to graduate
And we want it that way

Am I your best friend?
Will I see you again?
Yes, I know it's too late
But I want it that way
 
Tell me why
We’ve done the work and got the grades
Tell me why
We’ve learnt a lot, We’ve made mistakes
Tell me why
So now its time to graduate
And we want it that way

​Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance, I want you to know
That deep down inside of me
 
You are my best friends
Our fun will never end
You are (you are, you are, you are)
I wanna hear you say
 
We’ve done the work we’ve got the grades
We’ve learnt a lot, We’ve made mistakes
So now it’s time to graduate (oh, yeah)
And we want it that way
 
Tell me why
We’ve done the work and got the grades
Tell me why
We’ve learnt a lot, We’ve made mistakes
Tell me why
So now its time to graduate
And we want it that way
 
Tell me why
We’ve done the work we’ve got the grades
We’ve learnt a lot, We’ve made mistakes
Tell me why
So now its time to graduate
 (time to graduate)
And We want it that way
'Cause we want it that way
