Nights too short and the days too long
He doesn't know the words to any of my favorite songs
All I see are fluorescent lights and all these anxious nights
Losing my voice along with my mind
Waste time, waste mine, it's fine
I've really got all night
You'll check my luck, get stuck
Then maybe then this all will be enough
Just please don't mess this up
I know it isn't love
(Yeah)
He's only eighteen, he doesn't know me
He doesn't know what I want, he doesn't know what I need
(Yeah)
Just barely summer, I'm going under
So suddenly, I don't know, maybe it's just the heat
(Yeah)
And it makes us crazy, all these heartbreaks still don't faze me
'Cause we all just wanna be loved
(Yeah)
He'll probably break me, and I know what they'll say to me
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Do too much and I try too hard
Thinking he's the fix for this broken heart
But all his empty words for now can fill the holes
He makes bad jokes and I laugh so hard
To find something I've never had
I'll lose all of the time I have
Distracted but I'm still so sad
He's always pushing down his feelings
Not thinking 'bout the reasons
We're doing any of this
(Yeah)
He's only eighteen, he doesn't know me
He doesn't know what I want, he doesn't know what I need
(Yeah)
Just barely summer, I'm going under
So suddenly, I don't know, maybe it's just the heat
(Yeah)
And it makes us crazy, all these heartbreaks still don't faze me
'Cause we all just wanna be loved
(Yeah)
He'll probably break me, and I know what they'll say to me
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
