18 candles

nina nesbitt

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

oh

oh

it's just begun

keep your friends by your shoulder

save your lovers in your heart

put your enemies behind your back

that's where they always are

oh

oh

it's just begun

now i'm 18 seeing something i've never seen

when i was 16

thought i knew it all

now i'm 18 walking through the fire life throws me

i've 18 candles left to burn

draw an outline in the sketch book

erase all your regrets

you go behind the bike shed

to smoke a cigarette

oh

oh

it's just begun

emotions like a pick 'n' mix

don't know what you're gonna get

you're crying to the mirror now

it's all just in your head

oh

oh

it's just begun

now i'm 18 seeing something i've never seen

when i was 16

thought i knew it all

now i'm 18 walking through the fire life throws me

i've 18 candles left to burn

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

now i'm 18 seeing something i've never seen

when i was 16

thought i knew it all

now i'm 18 walking through the fire life throws me

i've 18 candles left to burn

now i'm 18 seeing something i've never seen

when i was 16

thought 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
