The group then signed with Vagrant Records in spring 2008 and entered the studio with producer Geoff Rockwell, who had also produced Forever the Sickest Kids' Underdog Alma Mater. Although Hunter left the group to return to college, School Boy Humor and their producer continued creating slick, youthful anthems, which the band later unveiled with the release of its self-titled debut album in February 2009
Don't look back
School Boy Humor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the big big heart
Only one thing on our minds
Staying up late
Working hard all night
It happens all the time
Uh Oh Uh Oh Oh Ohhhh
I've always had a one track night
That never lets things go
'Cause weeks are better flying
We've been waiting and you know
Tell me you want too
Live life like I do
You have to fight for
What you believe in
You have to wait for
The dream go and get it now
You have to fix things up
Where you left off
And don't look back
20 dollar drive from the NYC
We're always breaking down
Sleeping on the bus
Couldn't get the heat
So we're freezing all night long
We do what we have to
I'm still making up
What I lost that job
Wasting all my time
Living with the boys
On the road all year
I'll always say that's fine
My wallet's getting light
So I'll just sleep on my friends floor
My cars been sold for about three months
I couldn't ask for more
So tell me you want to
Live life like I do
You have to fight for
What you believe in
You have to wait for
The dream go and get it now
You have to fix things up
Where you left off
And don't look back
I still believe in living my chance
I know they could never take that
This is a song for all our bad luck
Maybe you'll never come back
Little little kids
With the big big heart
Only one thing on our minds
Staying up late
Working hard all night
It happens all the time
You have to fight for
What you believe in
You have to wait for
The dream go and get it now
You have to fix things up
Where you left off
And don't look back
You have to fight for
What you believe in
You have to wait for
The dream go and get it now
You have to fix things up
Where you left off
And don't look back
Whoah Oh Whoah Oh
