Lyric

Our love is like a forbidden fruit we’ve grown

In a secret garden that the world has never known

Watching from a distance, the ache is hard to bear

But when I see your sparkling smile, the pain is never there

One look from you is all it takes to make my spirits rise

A golden reward reflected in your innocent eyes

Once you graduate, I’ll claim you as my own

No more hiding in the shadows, no more being alone

I’ll come to meet you with my head held high

Underneath the vast and the open summer sky

But until that day arrives, please don't tempt my heart

Your gaze is far too powerful, it tears my soul apart

After graduation, we’ll be lovers for the world to see

I’ll be there to catch you, just as you are meant to be

I’ll walk beside you, proud and strong and true

Devoting every heartbeat only to the thought of you

Hold on to the promise, keep it in your sight

We’re heading for the morning after this long night

Inside your pure and unstained heart, the dreams begin to swell

More than any spoken words could ever hope to tell

If you feel like running, if you want to fly away

I won't ever stop you, I’ll just wait for that one day

When you’ve finished the journey and the tassels have been turned

And we finally possess the love that we have truly earned

From that moment on, I’ll hold you in my arms

Shielding you forever from the world and all its harms

I might never let you go, I might hold you far too tight

But I’ll make up for every lonely and the quiet night

My feelings will not waver, they will never fade or change

Though the path ahead is long and the scenery is strange

I’ll offer up my everything, I’ll give my soul to you

For every silent "I love you" that we both knew were true

After graduation, we’ll be lovers for the world to see

I’ll be there to catch you, just as you are meant to be

I’ll walk beside you, proud and strong and true

Devoting every heartbeat only to the thought of you

Wait for the day

The tassels turn

I'll be there

No more hiding

Only you

After graduation
