When You're Eighteen

The summer has just begun
Graduation is over and you're on your own
Now you will find out what it's like to really be alone
But you haven't even begun the long fight
You're life has just begun
You still don't know if you're right

When you're eighteen
When you're eighteen
When you're eighteen

You wouldn't turn back time if you could
You don't believe in the myths of childhood
The love you want is the love you're out to get
At eighteen, heartbreak is something easy to forget
Partying till 5 am and stripping down for the crowd
No more rules, all the lethal drugs allowed
Thinking it's all fun now, you're lost up in the clouds

When you're eighteen - life seems like an adventure
When you're eighteen - you feeling young and tough
When you're eighteen - parties, drugs, you can't get enough
When you're eighteen
When you're eighteen

Face the consequences of what's next in line
College - keeping track of time
Partying - your mind goes wild
Promiscuous - you might have a child
Working - Need to make some money
Eighteen - Suddenly nothing is funny

When you're eighteen
Life is not what you thought it would be
When you're eighteen
You're dreaming of what life used to be
When you're eighteen
Missing your first love
When you're eighteen
Missing your first kiss
When you're eighteen
Drugged and confused about the people you miss
When you're eighteen
You now are on your own in the cold world outside
There's no longer a place where you can go to hide

When you're eighteen - life seems like an adventure
When you're eighteen - you feeling young and tough
When you're eighteen - parties, drugs, you can't get enough
When you're eighteen - life seems like an adventure
When you're eighteen - you feeling young and tough
When you're eighteen - parties, drugs, you can't get enough
When you're eighteen
When you're eighteen
