“During high school, I learned that we are not adults; that teachers andparents are people too; and that no matter how many new coffeeshopswe get in McAllen, Moonbeans will always be special. During these fouryears, I have perfected the art of procrastination and sport of cramming,and I have found friendships that will last a life time, laughs that linger inour ears, and memories that I could never forget.”
“I am so grateful for my time here at McHi, because I have had the privilegeof meeting teachers that go above and beyond in their traditional class-room roles and friends that have continually supported me throughout myfour years of high school. As I further my education at Rice University, I willkeep in mind the lessons that I have learned at this school and continue todevelop into a better person.”

You've gotta help me, I'm losing my mindKeep getting the feeling you want to leave thisall behindThought we were going strongI thought we were holding onAren't we?
No, they don't teach you this in schoolNow my heart's breaking and I don't know whatto doThought we were going strongThought we were holding onAren't we?You and me got a whole lot of historyWe could be the greatest thing that the worldhas ever seenYou and me got a whole lot of historySo don't let it go, we can make some more, wecan live forever
All of the rumours, all of the fightsBut we always find a way to make it out aliveThought we were going strongThought we were holding onAren't we?
You and me got a whole lot of historyWe could be the greatest thing that the worldhas ever seenYou and me got a whole lot of historySo don't let it go, we can make some more, wecan live forever
Minibars, expensive cars, hotel roomsAnd new tattoos, good champagne, and privateplanesBut we don't need anything'Cause the truth is outI realise that without you here like there's just alieThis is not the endThis is not the endWe can make it you know it, you know
You and me got a whole lot of historyWe could be the greatest thing that the worldhas ever seenYou and me got a whole lot of historySo don't let it go, we can make some more, wecan live forever
You and me got a whole lot of historyWe could be the greatest thing that the worldhas ever seenYou and me got a whole lot of historySo don't let it go, we can make some more, wecan live forever
So don't let me goSo don't let me goWe can live foreverBaby don't you knowBaby don't you knowWe can live forever
