18 Candles

Keep your pictures in the scrap book
Put your posters on the wall
Save your pennies in your pocket
‘Cause they’re precious on us all

Oh, oh, it’s just begun

Keep your friends by your shoulder
Save your lovers in your heart
Put your enemies behind your back
That’s where they always are

Oh, oh, it’s just begun

Now I’m 18
Seeing something I’ve never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all
Now I’m 18
Walking through the fire life draws me
I’m 18 candles left to burn

Draw an outline in the sketchbook
Erase all your regrets
You go behind the bike shed
To smoke a cigarette

Oh, oh, it’s just begun

Emotions like a pick and mix
Don’t know what you’re gonna get
You’re crying to the mirror now
It’s all just in your head

Oh, oh, it’s just begun

Now I’m 18
Seeing something I’ve never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all
Now I’m 18
Walking through the fire life draws me
I’m 18 candles left to burn

13 candles, soon you’ll learn
14 candles, watch them burn
15 candles, soon you’ll learn
16 candles, watch them burn
17 candles, soon you'll learn
18 candles, it’s my turn

Now I’m 18
Seeing something I’ve never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all
Now I’m 18
Walking through the fire life draws me
I’m 18 candles left to burn

Now I’m 18
Seeing something I’ve never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all
Now I’m 18
Walking through the fire life draws me
I’m 18 candles left to burn
