College by ME & The Robots
- ABOUT -
College is a bittersweet reflection on the love that didn’t survive the distance.
It tells the story of a relationship left behind — the kind that haunts you with questions years later. What if you hadn’t moved away? What if you’d stayed in the same city? Would you still be together now?
Blending raw pop punk energy with shimmering synths and late-night emotion, College captures that specific ache of wondering what could’ve been. It’s about those quiet moments when you scroll through old photos, replay conversations in your head, and imagine the version of your life that never happened.
For anyone who’s ever looked back and felt that ache — this one’s for you.

Lyrics
- LYRICS -
We kissed goodnight outside the AMC, said don't forget me
You had a college letter in your hand
And I still wore that Busted wristband
You pledged kappa, I played in a basement show
Friday nights we were ghosts across the radio
Late night calls turned to typing dots
Then nothing at all, god we forgot
Will you be waiting back home when I'm a graduate?
Or just leave town because you had to wait?
We both wanted to leave no matter where we went
Maybe we'd be together if we didn't go to college back then
I stole essays, I wrote songs
You had labs I just tagged along
You studied Kafka, I studied your face
But I guess we both needed that space
Now you're posting from some campus bar
I'm playing shows still chasing a star
We traded forever for GPA scores And now we not us anymore Will
You be waiting back home when I graduate?
Or just leave town because you had to wait
We both wanted to leave no matter where we went
Maybe we'd be together if we didn't go to college back then
We maybe didn't go to college back then
Tap, toss, final class, walking past
Where we promised things would last
Felt the pressure of the future loom
And studied hard in my world
Snapbacks, scantrons, ramen at 2AM
Your hoodie still smells like September rain
If this was Euphoria, I'd beg to rewrite
The scene where you leave on that early flight
Will you be waiting back home when I'm a graduate?
Or just leave town because you had to wait?
We both wanted to leave no matter where we went
Maybe we'd be together if we didn't go to college back then
We maybe didn't go to college back then
