18 Lyrics by Everyone You Know

Just For The Times

2021

[Verse 1]
It ain't the same when we speak
Are you still living for the weekend?
It was funny in our teens
Now you're caught up in the deep end

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to party like a Saturday night
On the high streets start looking for fights
Now you're trying to run from the police
Are you living for the weekend, yeah?

[Chorus]
You've got no luck
You don't wanna grow up the fast way
Do what your mama taught ya
Pull it together, dry your eyes
Said "You can't be eighteen all your life"
Then you woke up
Seven years all blur in the fast lane
Do what your daddy showed ya
You never could take his advice
Said "You can't be eighteen all your life" (Oh-oh-uh-uh-uh)
Said "You can't be eighteen all your life" (Oh-oh-uh-uh-uh)
Said "You can't be 18 all your life"

[Verse 2]
You must have loved him in your teens
Now you're caught up in the deep end
You're telling him to leave
'Cause your friends say you don't need him
He's put you through his pain
And you tell yourself he's changed
While you wipe them tears away
That's what you say

[Pre-Chorus]
You used to party like a Saturday night
On the high streets still looking real nice
While he's trying to run from the police
You'll be living for the week-
You'll be living for the weekend

[Chorus]
You've got no luck
You don't wanna grow up the fast way
Do what your mama taught ya
Pull it together, dry your eyes
Said "You can't be eighteen all your life"
Then you woke up
Seven years all blur in the fast lane
Do what your daddy showed ya
You never could take his advice
Said "You can't be eighteen all your life" (Oh-oh-uh-uh-uh)
Said "You can't be eighteen all your life" (Oh-oh-uh-uh-uh)
Said "You can't be 18 all your life"

[Bridge]
Just dry your eyes
Yeah, just dry your eyes
Yeah yeah, just dry your eyes
Yeah yeah, just dry your eyes

[Chorus]
You've got no luck
You don't wanna grow up the fast way
Do what your mama taught ya
Pull it together, dry your eyes
Said "You can't be eighteen all your life"
Then you woke up
Seven years all blur in the fast lane
Do what your daddy showed ya
You never could take his advice
Said "You can't be eighteen all your life" (Oh-oh-uh-uh-uh)
Said "You can't be eighteen all your life" (Oh-oh-uh-uh-uh)
Said "You can't be 18 all your life"
