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
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
School Boy Humor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are worth it
Learn to love your fears
Forever
Our memories disappear
And our shadows learn to
Love these years
[Chorus:]
This is your life
This is your fight
This is the only time you have to make it
Your life
This is your time
This is the only time you have to make it
The walls that hold me down
Surround me
Learn to love this fight
Cause its worth it
And I know you care
That is fading to darkness
You care that this feeling fades
[Chorus]
The way we move through our fears
To fight for this
The way we breathe for that single
Burning way
Make way for me
I'm heading in your direction
I'm smiling
This is the happiest I've ever been
And make way for me
My voice is shot but I'm singing
I'm singing
I'm the strongest I have ever been
And I know you care
That is fading to darkness
You care that this feeling fades
[Chorus x3]
The way we move through our fears
To fight for this
The way we breathe for that single
Burning way
Make way for me [x2]
