18 Forever

You were just here laughing

On my shoulder

Tackling me over

We stayed in as the nights grew colder

You were just here with me

In this closet

The one I set here locked in

Tried on every dress

With you there watching

And there on the floor

We stared at cheap neon stars

And look there's the door

I'd open up to your arms

Now I'm in this car

I drive past that spot we parked in

Where I cried our first time fighting

We made up there on that mountain

Now this place looks dark

That abandoned football stadium

Once lit up with friends tailgating

We hid out right there till morning

I was in your arms

You told me don't be scared of nothing

Well you know back then I wasn't

Not until this real life sunk in

And told us we couldn't be together

Well I guess you can't be 18 forever

We were just there talking

Bout the future

Sitting in that backyard

Passed a guitar around the fire

We were just about to toast to

The summer play some Brand New

In the suburbs not much to do

But find a little bit of home in each other

But every box of wine has to run out

And all the stores are closed

All over this town

Now I'm in this car

I drive past that house we lived in

Every night that's where we ended

If the suns down we're not sleeping

Now the street looks dark

Once lit up felt young love blossom

If I held out what would happen

Would we still be looking back when

When you stole my heart

You told me don't be scared of nothin

Well you know back then I wasn't

Not until this real life sunk in

And told us we couldn't be together

Well I guess you can't be 18 forever

Toast to the good time

Black out the bad nights

Held onto close ties some lost touch

Saw faces fly by

Heard rumors spread like wildfire

Felt the hurt and the rush of love

Now I'm in this car

I drive past that spot we parked in

Where I cried our first time fighting

We made up there on that mountain

Now this place looks dark

That abandoned football stadium

Once lit up with friends tailgating

We hid out right there till morning

And that was in your car

You told me don't be scared of nothin

Well you know back then I wasn't

Not until this real life sunk in

And told us we couldn't be together

Well I guess you can't be 18 forever
