18 Candles Lyrics by Nina Nesbitt

Peroxide (Deluxe Edition)

2014

[Verse 1]
Keep your pictures in the scrapbook
Put your posters on the wall
Save your pennies in your pocket
'Cause the pressure's on us all
Oh, oh, it's just begun
[Verse 2]
Keep your friends by your shoulder
Save your lovers in your heart
Put your enemies behind your back
That's where they always are
Are, are, it's just begun
[Chorus]
Now I'm eighteen, seeing something I've never seen
When I was sixteen, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm eighteen, walking through the fire life throws me
I've eighteen candles left to burn
[Verse 3]
Draw an outline in my sketchbook
Erase all your regrets
You go behind the bike shed
To smoke a cigarette
Ah, ah, it's just begun
[Verse 4]
Emotions like a pick and mix
Don't know what you're gonna get
You're crying to the mirror now
It's all just in your head
Ah, ah, it's just begun
[Chorus]
Now I'm eighteen, seeing something I've never seen
When I was sixteen, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm eighteen, walking through the fire life throws me
I've eighteen candles left to burn
[Bridge]
Thirteen candles, soon you'll learn
Fourteen candles, watch them burn
Fifteen candles, soon you'll learn
Sixteen candles, watch them burn
Seventeen candles, soon you'll learn
Eighteen candles, it's my turn
[Chorus]
Now I'm eighteen, seeing something I've never seen
When I was sixteen, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm eighteen, walking through the fire life throws me
I've eighteen candles left to burn
Now I'm eighteen, seeing something I've never seen
When I was sixteen, thought I knew it all (I knew it all)
Now I'm eighteen, walking through the fire life throws me
I've eighteen candles left to burn
I've eighteen candles left to burn
