[Intro]
Catching the last elevator ride, class bells in the rain
We flip the page, say goodbye to the hallway stars we gained
[Verse 1]
We spoke in mixed tones, English and French in our veins
Raps in the lunch line, memories etched in chalk stains
From group projects to late nights, math and poetic fits
Now the cap and gown hums, we sketch futures on the smyrled grids
Friends by the lockers, laughter like a favorite song
We learned to speak brave when the whole class felt wrong
If the future’s a map, we mark every street we’ve roamed
But the exit door trembles soft, saying we’re not alone
[Pre-Chorus]
So raise your phones, let torches glow across the hall
We rhyme our goodbyes in two tongues, we’ll remember them all
[Chorus]
Au revoir, my friends, till we meet again somewhere new
In every city, every sunrise, I’ll carry you
We wrote our names in chalk on the edge of time
Au revoir, et merci for the memories we rhymed
[Verse 2]
We traded secrets in the courtyard, under bleachers’ shade
Two languages, one heartbeat, a chorus we made
We battled nerves with punchlines, we turned fears into flair
Now the buses pull away, but your voices linger there
In the yearbook’s glow, we sign with a hopeful grin
Promised you’d text from futures where we both begin
If luck is a compass, you’re the north that guides me through
Terminado here, but our verses carry through
[Pre-Chorus]
So raise your phones, let torches glow across the hall
We rhyme our goodbyes in two tongues, we’ll remember them all
[Chorus]
Au revoir, my friends, till we meet again somewhere new
In every city, every sunrise, I’ll carry you
We wrote our names in chalk on the edge of time
Au revoir, et merci for the memories we rhymed
[Bridge]
Two languages, one staircase to the future’s wide door
We’ll graduate these halls but not the stories we swore
We’ll meet again where the metro lights repaint the night
Till then I’ll hold your voices close and hold them tight
[Chorus]
Au revoir, my friends, till we meet again somewhere new
In every city, every sunrise, I’ll carry you
We wrote our names in chalk on the edge of time
Au revoir, et merci for the memories we rhymed
[Outro]
So goodbye for now, but not forever in the sound
We’ll write new chapters, but these pages stay around
