Zane McGlathery - 18 Lyrics

I wanna know where you have been for all of my life
But I know just where you were for most of my life
'Cause I've known you almost all of my life
That's how I know we should have made this happen sooner than we did
'Cause next year I'm gonna be eighteen
And next year you'll probably be gone
I'm way too scared of the future to sleep
'Cause I don't want you to move on
We never really grew close until this year
But a while ago we were near
Coming home from West Virginia
I was in sixth grade, you were in fifth
We laughed and joked and talked about music
Just bands and stuff back when pop was still booming
But we were far too young to understand
The things they sang about in those crazy songs
Like boys and girls and love
But we just sat and giggled all along
But next year I'm gonna be eighteen
And next year you'll probably be gone
I'm way too scared of the future to sleep
'Cause I don't want you to move on
But right now you'll hold my hand as I finish this song
In my head, my bed, hope that you'll sing along
'Cause you know that I write everything for you?
When we laugh and dance while we run through the streets
When I think about you I can't even speak
That's why I write everything for you
But next year I'm gonna be eighteen
And next year you'll probably be gone
I'm way too scared of the future to dream
'Cause I don't want you to move on
But next year I'm gonna be eighteen
And next year you'll probably be gone
Still I'm way too scared of the future to sleep
'Cause I don't want you to move on
But next year I'm gonna be eighteen
And next year you'll probably be gone
I'm way too scared of the future to sleep
'Cause I thought you wouldn't move on
Now the song is done
Hope you had some fun
Hope you enjoyed yourself
Now I'm moving on
Need to get some work done
Hope you tell someone else
About this song
About my work
About my wrongs
'Cause I've been writing myself into a ditch
And, man, this work can be a bitch
But I do everything I do 'cause I love it
Oh yea 'cause I love it
Everything 'cause I love it
Well I'm writing this part while I'm standing here
And I don't know the words, they just appear
In my brain
Maybe I'm insane
Now the song is done
Hope you had some fun
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, 'cause that makes me happy
Yea, that makes me happy (Oh, I hope that you're happy, be happy, be happy)
Oh, yea, that makes me happy (Oh be happy for me)
