I Fight Dragons - The Near Future II. Eighteen lyrics

[Verse:] Eighteen at a traffic light, I got nowhere to be on a Friday night I got it all, got nothing The summer's here and I'm finally free I got no-one to do and no-one to see I got it all, I got nothing Eighteen is a funny age, you got so many dreams and an empty page I got it all because I got nothing [Chorus:] Everybody knows what I should do Everybody works so I should too How do I explains what feels so wrong? Dealing with the shame of knowing you don't belong So you try to swallow and hope That you won't always be alone with the dreams That came in between eighteen [Verse 2:] Eighteen but I feel so old Like a bright screen with a paper sold I've seen it all, I've seen anything Eighteen with a heart that drives And a strange need just to feel alive I've seen it all, I've seen the fade Have you heard, it's a golden age Girl, get your golden youth from your golden cage I've seen it all, because I've seen nothing [Chorus:] Everybody knows what I should do Everybody works so I should too How do I explains what feels so wrong? Dealing with the shame of knowing you don't belong So you try to swallow and hope That you won't always be alone with the dreams That came in between eighteen Everybody does just what they're told Everybody buys just what they're sold How do I escape what I can't see? How do I replace the broken parts of me? I know you try to swallow and hope That you won't always be alone with the dreams That came in between eighteen
