Eighteen
(Yeah let's do this one)
(Yeah this one)
(When I look to the stars)
(I don't care)
(When I look to the stars)
(I like this take)
(It's good)
It's been like 17 years
Going on 18
I'm holding down the fortress
But I'm scared I'll fall asleep
What if everything I know and love
Was never meant to be
If the songs that I write were never
Meant to be seen
And I know that it's wrong to expect what I shouldn't
I'm prepared for my future
That's what I told them
I built my house out of glass let you look in
Wrote about a few things that I usually Wouldn't but
Happy birthday to me
I guess that makes me 18
I'm old enough to fight for my country or
Live by my own rules I
Could work or go to school
But I'm still so hungry for
Something I don't know about yet
Something to be scared to lose
Something I gotta work for
Something I gotta use to
Better myself or
Maybe make a difference
I don't know
If the world came crashing down
Would there be something to remind you of me
I'm only 18
I got so much to work for
I got so many dreams
And I got so much time I don't
Know what's gotten into me
I'm just scared I'll grow up and maybe miss the Things I used to be
And that's truthfully
Why I
Wrote this song
How I'm gonna move on
You'll never know just what you have
Until it's dead and gone
So why am I stuck on the past
When the path is made clear
That I'm
Meant for much more
That I'm meant to be here
And I know that it's wrong to expect what I shouldn't
I'm prepared for my future
That what I told them
But I built my house out of glass
And know it's broken
I have the room to spread my wings so let me
Show you what I mean by
Happy birthday to me
I guess that makes me 18
I'm old enough to fight for my country or
Live by my own rules I
Could work or go to school
But I'm still so hungry for
Something I don't know about yet
Something to be scared to lose
Something I gotta work for
Something I gotta use to
Better myself or
Maybe make a difference
I don't know
If the world came crashing down
Would there be something to remind you of me
And if there isn't would you tell me what I did wrong or
When I blow the candles out
Will it take me to the stars and
Do they ever align
Tell me what you see
Tell me if my dreams come true
I need it desperately
(When I look to the stars)
Tell me what it is you see
(I don't care)
Is there something left of me
(When I look to the stars)
when it's all dead and gone
(I don't care)
Happy birthday to me
I guess that I'm finally 18
There's been a few
Hurdles to get over and
Hoops to get through
Hiccups I had to scare out
Friends that I had to lose
But when the stars come out
I'm sure I'll find my truth
Every single thing I did
Everything I've yet to do
I'm gonna pass it on a gift from me to you
I'm only 18 Ia have nothing to lose
(Yeah this one)
(When I look to the stars)
(I don't care)
(When I look to the stars)
(I like this take)
(It's good)
It's been like 17 years
Going on 18
I'm holding down the fortress
But I'm scared I'll fall asleep
What if everything I know and love

If the songs that I write were never
