The Academy Is...

The Academy Is... was an American rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 2003. Before disbanding, they were signed by the Decaydance imprint of the Fueled by Ramen label. They were originally known as "The Academy", but added the "Is..." in 2004 to avoid legal complications with other established bands already under that name. As of 2010[update], the band has released three studio albums, Almost Here, Santi, and Fast Times at Barrington High, and four EPs. On 8 October 2011, the band announced they would go their separate ways. more »

Please stand by, we've come so far
These years, we survived the ride that turned us inside out
Repeat after me, just scream and shout
"It was the best of times from broken homes and battle scars to where we are"

[Chorus:]
Graduate, paper chase
We'll get out of this place
Don't turn around. Hit the highway
Pour some liquor out for this town
Now that's all for us, it's last call to drink up

Roll it out, it's over now
We're the cast outs with messed up friends who never did fit in
Don't know where it ends
It doesn't matter now
As long as we're as one, we'll take the next bus
Destination: setting sun

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]

This is an open invite for all to attend
Don't ask too many questions now
Don't tell us how it ends
Because we're the ones who wrote the end

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
