Sleep with all the lights on You're not so happy You're not secure You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans But you're plastic just like everyone Just like everyone And that face you paint is pressed Impressing most of us as permanent And I'd like to see you undone College night will draw the crowds Dorms unload and you're heading out Here is your moment to shine Making up a history It's nothing from the life you lead But man, will they buy all your lines Sleep with all the sheets off Baring your mattress, baring your soul And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos
But you're searching just like everyone You could be anyone And those friends you have are the best Impressing most of us as permanent And I'd like to see you undone Youth's the most unfaithful mistress Still we forge ahead to miss her Rushing our moment to shine Making up a history It's nothing from the life you lead But man, will they buy all your lines We're not twenty-one But the sooner we are, the sooner the fun will begin So get out your fake eyelashes and fake I.D's and real disasters ensue It's cool to take these chances It's cool to fake romances And grow up fast
