About Fast Times at Clairemont High

“Fast Times at Clairemont High” is the fifth track from Pierce The Veil’s sophomore effort Selfish Machines. The title is a reference to Amy Heckerling’s 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which revolves around a cast of characters over a year at high school. The name of Vic and Mike Fuentes' school, Clairemont High, is substituted in the title instead of the name of the film itself. This isn’t a particularly new concept, with Chicago pop-punk band The Academy Is… doing the same thing with their final album .

Fast Times at Clairemont High Lyrics

[00:00.37] I was saving (I was saving), I was saving
[00:04.72] I was saving myself for you
[00:09.81] I was saving myself for you
[00:14.01] I was sav-, waited my whole life for you
[00:18.85] Without you, what's the point? (I was saving myself for you)
[00:24.16]
[00:37.06] Tonight we'll be throwing a party (oh)
[00:41.82] Under the sunset, we started to drink (a little faster now)
[00:48.12] This celebration (oh), so many faces (oh)
[00:53.33] I say the words as the moon painted us blue
[01:01.11] I've been saving myself for you
[01:06.37] I've been saving myself for you
[01:11.32] I waited my whole life for you
[01:16.53] 'Cause I was saving myself for you
[01:21.03] (Now, brother, bring that beat back!)
[01:24.18] Now hold on, this is innocent blood
[01:27.95] All the beach boys look like sharks (oh)
[01:34.39] 'Cause without you, nothing ever mattered
[01:39.14] I scream and wave my arms, but you don't understand me
[01:46.19] Now as I watch them feed on you, it's over
[01:52.07] If I die, you die too
[01:55.38] Because I'm saving myself for you
[02:00.58] I've been saving myself for you
[02:05.50] I waited my whole life for you
[02:10.73] 'Cause I was saving myself for you
[02:15.87] I just wanted one dance with you
[02:20.86] And one night under the smoke alarm
[02:33.66] Every single door in this house is on fire (on fire)
[02:47.01] So melodramatic, but it turns me on
[02:52.04] I close my eyes, it feels just like a movie
[02:57.02] I'm convinced that we don't make sense
[03:00.97] But I'd kill anyone who gets close
[03:07.91] I've been saving myself for you (oh)
[03:12.95] I've been saving myself for you
[03:17.88] The sharpest thing I find for you
[03:22.93] 'Cause I was saving myself for you
[03:28.49] I've been saving myself for you (I've been saving)
[03:33.75] I saved myself for you
[03:37.76] Oh, don't you know I'd die for you? (Oh)
[03:43.91] I saved myself for you
[03:49.28] Without you, what's the point?
[03:51.77]
