Not so sure if I wanna grow up
We were just running around at the playground
In a fake town, falling in love
Fast forward it's today
Everyone's moving away

I still don't know how to feel inside
Packing up their things
Wondering what the future brings
And tryna hide the fact they're terrified

The thing is we're scared to
Admit that we're not ready to grow up
Were feeling defenseless
Keep thinking we'll never be enough

You don't have to be afraid
We're moving on to brighter days
It seems like everything gets better
At eighteen, but it feels like so much pressure

Wild parties and dumb mistakes
We're all brokenhearted tryna find our way
We're on our own, got nowhere to run to
Eighteen is the beginning of something new
(The beginning of something, ooh)
(The beginning of something, something new)

It's 3 A. M. and I'm scrolling through
All these pictures of people I used to know
Taking on the world, with the gas to go

Seems like everybody's set
Can't wait for what's ahead
And here I am still lost and confuse
I wish I could go back
Be a kid and just relax
Play pretend instead of being consumed

The thing is we're scared to
Admit that we're not ready to grow up
Were feeling defenseless
But deep down we're all more than enough

You don't have to be afraid
We're moving on to brighter days
It seems like everything gets better
At eighteen, but it feels like so much pressure

Wild parties and dumb mistakes
We're all brokenhearted tryna find our way
We're on our own, got nowhere to run to
Eighteen is the beginning of something new
(The beginning of something, ooh)
(The beginning of something, something new)
(Yeah, yeah)

We're saying goodbye to those
Days and the memories
We're moving on
Things will change, but you're ready

Eighteen, just eighteen

And I know I'll be okay
I just gotta find my way
We're on our own, yeah
We got nowhere to run to
Eighteen, but the beginning of something new
