19 Lyrics

My car broke down in the snow again

And I can't find a way home

This oh-so-perfect life I was promised

Isn't looking so bright

I'm coming home smelling like marijuana

Cause I can't seem to think straight

I'm still stuck on this boy

And I'm still stuck in the dark

Even in the light

Right now

I wanna go

Wherever you go

And I wanna do

Everything we're made to do

But I'm just 19

Carrying the weight of what I shouldn't have to see

Until I'm just a little older

I wanna be casual and sweet

I wanna be who I see in a dream

I'm only 19

And I wanna live life the way it's meant to

Before it's too late

Before the lights go out

When it's my time to be

This feeling is sinking in me like the Titanic

And it screams I'm here forever

But I know forever is never forever

So then what really is forever

I wanna see me happier than I can ever think of

Living a life I can only dream

But the spark in me is dying

I'm scared of getting older

I don't wanna live alone

But the voices in my head will never leave me alone

I wanna live while I'm young

And I'm just 19

Carrying the weight of what I shouldn't have to see

Until I'm just a little older

I'm too young to have these thoughts rolling in my head

And I'm too young to wish the worst upon me

I'm only 19

And I wanna live life the way it's meant to

Before it's too late

Before the lights go out

When it's my time to be

I'm only 19

(I'm just 19)

And I wanna live life the way it's meant to

(Carrying the weight of what I shouldn't have to see)

Before it's too late

(Until I'm just a little older)

Before the lights go out

When it's my time to be

I'm almost 20

Life won't slow down

Not for her

Not for him

Not even for me
