Misc ="Graduate" is a song by
Third Eye Blind and written byStephan Jenkins andKevin Cadogan . Theb-side "Horror Show" was written by Jenkins and Cadogan as well and later released on the "How's It Going to Be " single in 1998.The band played this at the
American Music Awards in 1998 changing some of the lyrics to "can I masturbate" in place of "can I graduate."The song sounds as if it is about a typical high school graduation, however, Jenkins wrote it when, in the mid-90's, he wanted to "graduate" from being so unable to express himself, something that he also couldn't do with some of the labels wanting to buy his band.
