Before It's Too Late

There was a time when I wouldn't go out
Maybe high school, maybe middle, there about
My friends left me on the corner in the rain
I was wondering why they weren't the same
They changed as we got older, they grew up
And for a while, it felt as if I was just stuck
In the old days like when we used to play as kids
But now I'm tired and I want to fit in

I don't wanna be a loser anymore
I don't wanna be known as the town bore
I wanna drink and dance till I forget my name
Go to parties, kiss a girl, just the same as everyone my age
I wanna live before it's too late

They said the years go fast and damn, they were right
Cause now I'm 18, leaving to start a new life
I regret wasting my time all alone
Staying home, jamming to musicals through my cheap headphones
I can't get the time back, no, not today
So now I'll try to make the most of this parade
I may never be just like the other kids
But it's my life, it's starting now
So who gives

I don't wanna be a loser anymore
I don't wanna be known as the town bore
I wanna drink and dance till I forget my name
Go to parties, kiss a girl, just the same as everyone my age
I wanna live before it's too late

Before it's too late
Before it's too late
I'm at the front gate
What do you say

So let me in to this party, yes I beg
I won't be boring, won't just stand behind a keg
No, I'll drink and dance and laugh and smoke and sing
Is that good?
Cause I'm new to this whole thing
