Eighteen
I've always been too young
You can see it in my face
And in the way my eyes look scared when i'm not concentrating
I've always been crosslegged
Looking up at all the big kids on the benches
At the back of the assembly hall
I thought I might grow up into something understandable
I thought maybe by now I'd be past staring at the backs of my hands
I'll always be crosslegged
Looking up at all the big kids on the benches
And I'm never gonna get there at all
And I'm eighteen
If I can't blame time then I guess I've got to blame me
And I'm eighteen
I can't blame time, oh, but I just want to feel clean
Crosslegged
Looking up at all the big kids on the benches
At the back of the assembly hall
Where did all that life go?
So many new years days
Spent sitting on my bed and wishing I was made of clay
I want someone to sculpt me
To push me round the stage
I'm running out of time to blame my failures on my age
I want to watch the sun rise
And look at the full moon
I'm homesick for a place I've never been to
But I'm hoping I will soon
And I'm eighteen
If I can't blame time then I guess I've got to blame me
And I'm eighteen
I can't blame time, oh, but I just want to feel clean
Work on your posture, honey
Every new day's another chance to believe in something
I don't believe in gravity
There's no escape for us
It's in our head and on our mind always, whoa
Crosslegged
Looking up at all the big kids on the benches
And I'm eighteen, I'm a machine
If I can't blame time then I guess I've got to blame me
And I'm eighteen
I can't blame time, oh, but I just want to feel clean
And I'm eighteen
If I can't blame time then I guess I've got to blame me
And I'm eighteen
I can't blame time, oh, but I just want to feel
You can see it in my face
And in the way my eyes look scared when i'm not concentrating
I've always been crosslegged
Looking up at all the big kids on the benches
At the back of the assembly hall
I thought I might grow up into something understandable
I thought maybe by now I'd be past staring at the backs of my hands
I'll always be crosslegged
Looking up at all the big kids on the benches
And I'm never gonna get there at all
And I'm eighteen
If I can't blame time then I guess I've got to blame me
And I'm eighteen
I can't blame time, oh, but I just want to feel clean
Crosslegged
Looking up at all the big kids on the benches
At the back of the assembly hall
Where did all that life go?
So many new years days
Spent sitting on my bed and wishing I was made of clay

And I'm eighteen
If I can't blame time then I guess I've got to blame me
And I'm eighteen
I can't blame time, oh, but I just want to feel
