18 Lyrics

I wanna know where you have been for all of my life

But I know just where you were for most of my life

'Cause I've known you almost all of my life

That's how I know we should have made this happen sooner than we did

'Cause next year I'm gonna be eighteen

And next year you'll probably be gone

I'm way to scared of the future to sleep

'Cause I don't want you to move on

We never really grew close until this year

But a while ago we were near

Coming home from West Virginia

I was in sixth grade, you were in fifth

We laughed and joked and talked about music

Just bands and stuff back when pop was still booming

But we were far too young to understand

The things they sang about in those crazy songs

Like boys and girls and love

But we just sat and giggled all along

But next year I'm gonna be eighteen

And next year you'll probably be gone

I'm way to scared of the future to sleep

'Cause I don't want you to move on

But right now you'll hold my hand as I finish this song

In my head, my bed, hope that you'll sing along

'Cause you know that I write everything for you?

When we laugh and dance while we run through the streets

When I think about you I can't even speak

That's why I write everything for you

But next year I'm gonna be eighteen

And next year you'll probably be gone

I'm way to scared of the future to dream

'Cause I don't want you to move on

But next year I'm gonna be eighteen

And next year you'll probably be gone

Still I'm way to scared of the future to sleep

'Cause I don't want you to move on

But next year I'm gonna be eighteen

And next year you'll probably be gone

I'm way to scared of the future to sleep

'Cause I thought you wouldn't move on

Now the song is done

Hope you had some fun

Hope you enjoyed yourself

Now I'm moving on

Need to get some work done

Hope you tell someone else

About this song

About my work

About my wrongs

'Cause I've been writing myself into a ditch

And, man, this work can be a bitch

But I do everything I do 'cause I love it

Oh yea 'cause I love it

Everything 'cause I love it

Well I'm writing this part while I'm standing here

And I don't know the words, they just appear

In my brain

Maybe I'm insane

Now the song is done

Hope you had some fun

I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy, 'cause that makes me happy

Yea, that makes me happy (Oh, I hope that you're happy, be happy, be happy)

Oh, yea, that makes me happy (Oh be happy for me)
