[Intro/Chorus 1]
If kids can dream
I never want to grow old
I wanna stay eighteen, stay eighteen
[Verse 1]
I'm going crazy
My heart is beating as fast as a chase scene
And I don't care
Living for the hell of it
Got all of these concerns
So all to hell with it
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Take me back to a simple time
When everybody that I knew wasn't trying to find
A way to be found, to belong, or get out
My life turned upside down
[Chorus 1]
If kids can dream
I never want to grow old
I wanna stay eighteen, stay eighteen
[Verse 2]
I'm terrified of many things
From burning, breaking all my bridges
And wedding rings
I don't wanna know, baby, I don't wanna know
(Stay here with me)
They say to put your best foot forward
But every single step is just one more closer
To the end of what I know
So why don't you just
(Stay here with me)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
They all say that home's where the heart is
I'd know 'cause I've tried my hardest
Just to see if I left it behind
But it was with me the whole time
[Chorus 2]
If kids can dream
I never want to grow old
I wanna stay eighteen, stay eighteen
And truth be told
I'm scared of what could unfold
Can't we just stay eighteen?
Stay eighteen
[Instrumental]
[Breakdown]
If kids can dream
I never want to grow old
I wanna stay eighteen (stay eighteen)
[Chorus 2]
If kids can dream
I never want to grow old
I wanna stay eighteen, stay eighteen
And truth be told
I'm scared of what could unfold
Can't we just stay eighteen?
Stay eighteen
