The drains at the station can't handle the flood
I'm wading through pavements
Too set in my ways too give up
And the train that I make my escape on
Had better still come
Oh It better still come
I've been paralysed here for the last 20 years
I've been planning a life in my head without changing the gears
Lost the feeling in all of my fingers
From reeling and writing it down
I'm crawling and choking and learning to breathe
A baby who cries for whatever she needs
Suitcases filled with potential and greed
Tell me I'm clever
I'll be forever
I'm shy and I'm staring
And starting to scream
I get what I want or I'm making a scene
I don't wanna know if it's not about me
Light as a feather
I'll be forever 18
I'll be forever 18
Might just live with my parents as long as I can
Think I'd trade independence
To eat from the palm of their hands
And the bed that I make everyday
It won't fit in a van
I won't sit in a van
I'm eternally walking the same way to school
Making eyes with the teachers
But none of them know me at all
And the buses have all broken down
But I'm sticking around
Why am I still around?
I'm crawling and choking and learning to breathe
A baby who cries for whatever she needs
Suitcases filled with potential and greed
Tell me I'm clever
I'll be forever
I'm shy and I'm staring
And starting to scream
I get what I want or I'm making a scene
I don't wanna know if its not about me
Light as a feather
I'll be forever
Tell me I'm better than everyone now
I swore that I wouldn't get left in this town
When my skin is weathered
And my mind is measured
Will I live forever?
Can I live forever?
Oh tell me I'm better than everyone now
I swore that I wouldn't get left in this town
When my skin is weathered
And my mind is measured
Will I live forever?
Can I live forever?
I'm crawling and choking and learning to breathe
A baby who cries for whatever she needs
Suitcases filled with potential and greed
Tell me I'm clever
I'll be forever
I'm shy and I'm staring
And starting to scream
I get what I want or I'm making a scene
I don't wanna know if its not about me
Light as a feather
I'll be forever 18
I'll be forever
