18 Candles

by Nina Nesbitt

on Peroxide (Deluxe) (2013)

[Verse 1]
Keep your pictures in the scrapbook
Put your posters on the wall
Save your pennies in your pocket
'Cause the pressure's on us all, all, oh
It's just begun

[Verse 2]
Keep your friends by your shoulder
Save your lovers in your heart
Put your enemies behind your back
That's where they always are, are, are
It's just begun

[Chorus]
Now I'm 18, seeing something I've never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm 18, walking through the fire life throws me
I've 18 candles left to burn

[Verse 3]
Draw an outline in my sketchbook
Erase all your regrets
You go behind the bike shed
To smoke a cigarette, ah, ah
It's just begun

[Verse 4]
Emotions like a pick and mix
Don't know what you're gonna get
You're crying to the mirror now
It's all just in your head, ah, ah
It's just begun

[Chorus]
Now I'm 18, seeing something I've never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm 18, walking through the fire life throws me
I've 18 candles left to burn

[Bridge]
13 candles, soon you'll learn
14 candles, watch them burn
15 candles, soon you'll learn
16 candles, watch them burn
17 candles, soon you'll learn
18 candles, it's my turn

[Chorus]
Now I'm 18, seeing something I've never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm 18, walking through the fire life throws me
I've 18 candles left to burn

[Chorus]
Now I'm 18, seeing something I've never seen
When I was 16, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm 18, walking through the fire life throws me
I've 18 candles left to burn
I've 18 candles left to burn
