Eighteen Years Later Lyrics

I wish that this light would stay red
So I could stay here
I wish I could stay out this long
Analyzing the things in my head
To make it clearer
Thinking of a night gone wrong

I go to bed every night feeling empty
And I don't know what to do to fix my state
I haven't felt like writing anything in a long itme
I'm feeling like I don't believe in fate

I'm trying so damn hard
To cleanse myself of aything I can
I cannot bare to see you fall
I cannot bare to see at all

I gotta get myself far away from here
So I can figure out what's going on
Everyday is the same boring day that came before
I don't know if I'll miss it when its gone

I'm trying so damn hard
To cleanse myself of anything I can
I cannot bare to see you fall
I cannot bare to see at all

I wish that this light would stay red
So we could be here
So I don't have to take you home
Searching for a friendship that won't end in failure
I'm finding that I'm driving back alone

I'm trying so damn hard
To cleanse myself of anything I can
I cannot bare to see you fall
I cannot bare to see at all

I wish that this light would stay red
So I could stay here
I wish I could stay out this long
Analyzing the things in my head
To make it clearer
Thinking of a night gone wrong

I go to bed every night feeling empty
And I don't know what to do to fix my state
I haven't felt like writing anything in a long itme
I'm feeling like I don't believe in fate

I'm trying so damn hard 
To cleanse myself of aything I can
I cannot bare to see you fall
I cannot bare to see at all

I gotta get myself far away from here
So I can figure out what's going on
Everyday is the same boring day that came before
I don't know if I'll miss it when its gone

I'm trying so damn hard
To cleanse myself of anything I can
I cannot bare to see you fall
I cannot bare to see at all

I wish that this light would stay red
So we could be here
So I don't have to take you home
Searching for a friendship that won't end in failure
I'm finding that I'm driving back alone

I'm trying so damn hard
To cleanse myself of anything I can
I cannot bare to see you fall 
I cannot bare to see at all

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
