18

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
