Sit down with an old friend

Like time had never stops

From the cradle to the coffin

We'd drink until we drop

Yeah, we grew up on the same street

Small town under the hill

Yeah

Where dreams get lost and buried down

Deep inside the saw mill

Yeah

All day, all night

Keep pressing rewind

All day, all night

I remember

We were young, we were wild

We were halfway free

We were kids on the run on a dead-end street

And looking back in the rear-view mirror

You know the view used to be much clearer

But we'll laugh and we'll cry till there’s no more tears

Yeah, tonight can we just hold on

To those 18 years?

18 years

Some ran down the highway

To chase away their ghosts

Some are frozen in the same place

This town inside their bones

Remember throwing TV’s

Off the overpass onto the tracks

Yeah

But the trains roll on through the small towns

And never look back

Yeah

All day, all night

Keep pressing rewind

All day, all night

I remember

All day, all night

Keep pressing rewind

All day, tell me

Do you remember?

We were young, we were wild

We were halfway free

We were kids on the run on a dead-end street

And looking back in the rear-view mirror

You know the view used to be much clearer

But we'll laugh and we'll cry till there’s no more tears

Yeah, tonight can we just hold on

To those 18 years?

18 years

Can we just hold on?

Can we just hold on?

Can we just hold on?

To those 18 years

Can we just hold on?

Can we just hold on?

Can we just hold on?

18 years

18 years, yeah eh eh

We were young, we were wild

We were halfway free

We were kids on the run on a dead-end street

We were building a bridge out of broken dreams

We were crashing like cars when we were 18

We were young, we were wild

We were halfway free

We were kids on the run on a dead-end street

And looking back in the rear-view mirror

You know the view used to be much clearer

But we'll laugh and we'll cry till there’s no more tears

Yeah, tonight can we just hold on to those 18 years?

18 years

Can we just hold on?

Can we just hold on?

Can we just hold on?

To those 18 years?

Can we just hold on?

Can we just hold on?

Can we just hold on?

Oh, those 18 years
