Eighteen Lyrics

Well we were eighteen when we met at the academy

I was waiting for you just to look up and notice me

We were eighteen when we met at the academy

Ten days in and you tapped on my shoulder

I like the way it feels now so that's what I told you

We were eighteen when we met at the academy

I can't begin to apologise

Three years later for that look in your eyes

These are not the best of times I know

I have to say I'm really not surprised

Cause we were eighteen when we met at the academy

In my head twenty three but you took it all out of me

We were eighteen when we met at the academy

But I can't wait to see the look in your eyes

I can't wait to see the look in your eyes

I can't wait to apologise

Ten years in I think I've seen the light

I can't believe I've taken all this time

Just to say I really wanna try

Just to say I really wanna try

Cause we were eighteen when we met at the academy

In my head twenty three but you took it all out of me

We were eighteen when we met at the academy

But I can't wait to see the look in your eyes

I can't wait to see the look in your eyes

Will we be eighty living in a house by the sand and sea

Or be separated but forever in memory

It's been sixty years since we left the academy

But I can't wait to see the look in your eyes
