I'll Be 18 (I Feel Like)
I'm turning 18 in two months
Two months? that's not very long
My hands are usually so soft
But i swear lately they've been so rough
Like a late 80s rockstar
Who spends all day playing guitar
Or a 90s grunge singer
With a stupid album cover
Like a frog in front of a lake
Or a messy birthday cake
I'll be 18
In two months
I'll probably block that out
Then cry a bunch
I'm still not who i thought i'd be
But i don't know who i'll end up being
Oh, I'm hanging off my bed with my feet above my head
I feel like a girl in a teenage movie
2003, and maybe i'm the star
And that girl in a hot pink car?
Well, she's nothing like me
I walk down the street like i'm in a rock band
Like our band never broke up
And we shook the whole world up
I feel like skipping school
Just to look cool
I wanna be everything
I wasted time not being
I'll be 18
In two months
I'll probably block that out
Then cry a bunch
I'm still not who i thought i'd be
But i don't know who i'll end up being
Oh, I feel like a girl in a pop song
Who sings every word and never gets it wrong
She pretends to play her guitar on stage
I dance around my room
And sing into my hairbrush
(basically the same thing)
By the time i'm 18
I'll still live in a movie
I'll still scream in frustration
When i play chords wrong
I'll still dance to ABBA
And i'll still be the dancing queen
And I'll still sing karaoke
And hope the person i like will text me
Except i'll be 18
Two months? that's not very long
My hands are usually so soft
But i swear lately they've been so rough
Like a late 80s rockstar
Who spends all day playing guitar
Or a 90s grunge singer
With a stupid album cover
Like a frog in front of a lake
Or a messy birthday cake
I'll be 18
In two months
I'll probably block that out
Then cry a bunch
I'm still not who i thought i'd be
But i don't know who i'll end up being
Oh, I'm hanging off my bed with my feet above my head
I feel like a girl in a teenage movie

And that girl in a hot pink car?
Well, she's nothing like me

Like our band never broke up
And we shook the whole world up
