Put your pictures in the scrapbook

Keep your posters on the wall

Save your pennies in your pocket

'cause the pressure's on us all

Oh, oh, it's just begun.

Keep your friends by your shoulder

Save your lovers in your heart

Put your enemies behind your back

That's where they always are

Oh, oh, it's just begun.

Now I'm 18 seeing something I've never seen

When I was 16, thought I knew it all

Now I'm 18 walking through the fire and it fuels me

I've 18 candles left to burn.

Draw an outline in the sketch book

Erase all your regrets

You go behind the bike shed

To smoke a cigarette

Oh, oh, it's just begun.

Emotions like a pick 'n' mix

Don't know what you're gonna get

You're crying to the mirror now

It's all just in your head

Oh, oh, it's just begun.

Now I'm 18 seeing something I've never seen

When I was 16, thought I knew it all

Now I'm 18 walking through the fire and it fuels me

I've 18 candles left to burn.

13 candles, watch them burn

14 candles, soon you'll learn

15 candles, watch them burn

16 candles, soon you'll learn

17 candles, watch them burn

18 candles, it's my turn.

Now I'm 18 seeing something I've never seen

When I was 16, thought I knew it all

Now I'm 18 walking through the fire and it fuels me

I've 18 candles left to burn.

Now I'm 18 seeing something I've never seen

When I was 16, thought I knew it all

Now I'm 18 walking through the fire and it fuels me

I've 18 candles left to burn

I've 18 candles left to burn

I've 18 candles left to burn.
