I had a chance to call
But I didn't because my pride was so shot
So I never returned the shit that I stole
Under the premise that I might have forgot
A chance to act
Like the person I wanted to be
Who is clever and cunning; oh, God, is he funny
He knows what to say when departing

So, say goodbye to your mother
And the house that you had as a kid
You're heading to college
To discover who you wish you were is
Goodbye to your mother
And the house that you had as a kid
(The person you wanted to be)
You're heading to college
To discover who you wish you were is
Goodbye
