18

Blow out your candles
Wish for more wishes
For toys & for candy;
when we had that ambition

I wished to be taller
To be older & pretty
For friends & for a family
To hold me; To love me

Chorus:
Well some wishes come true
But the older you get
The less you remember
So you live to forget

Wash out the purple
Let your hair grow long
Hope you found the right one
Then have your heart broken
 
18 - you found me
No car & no money
Responsibility?
Lets stay, I’m not ready
        
Chorus:
Well some wishes come true
But the older you get
The less you remember
So you live to forget

Bridge//
Together
in freedom
Holding onto
young love

One day we’ll
be wishing
To go back
to 18

Chorus:
Well some wishes come true
But the older you get
The less you remember
So you live to (forget)
The less you remember
But this I won’t forget
