Just turned eighteen

And I don't really know what that means

I still got the same anxiety

I feel so controlled by society

And my friends

They all seem to know what they wanna be

Got their lives planned five years ahead of me

And I don't even know 'bout next week

Sometimes when I think ahead

It pulls a string around my chest

Too young to know how to live

Too old to be a kid

I just turned eighteen

And I don't want the world to change me

It doesn't take a lot to break me

'Cause I don't recognize me lately

I just turned eighteen

Oh, one more year of this world turning

It's just another candle burning

But my reality is hurting

Just turned eighteen

I'm off track

Gotta wish that I could go back

And live another day in my past

Calling to my youth

Sometimes when I think ahead

It pulls a string around my chest

Too young to know how to live

Too old to be a kid

I just turned eighteen

And I don't want the world to change me

It doesn't take a lot to break me

'Cause I don't recognize me lately

I just turned eighteen

Oh, one more year of this world turning

It's just another candle burning

But my reality is hurting

Just turned eighteen

Just turned eighteen

Just turned eighteen

And I don't really know what that means

I still got the same anxiety

I feel so controlled by society, yeah

I just turned eighteen

And I don't want the world to change me

It doesn't take a lot to break me

'Cause I don't recognize me lately

I just turned eighteen

Oh, one more year of this world turning

It's just another candle burning

But my reality is hurting

I just turned eighteen

Just turned eighteen
