Eighteen Lyrics

Some days I don't feel like being grown-up
Some days I just feel like looking far away
Well, I've never understood why the closer you come to make your own decisions and be self-sufficient
Well, you've gotta conform to the will of the world
Well, she left right before I turned eighteen
Well, I just really started missing her now
I know a girl who spent her summer here on my street
Freedom was her name
where did she go, where did she go?
Now a new change tries to hold me in place
maturity and responsibility
where did she go, where did she go?
Some days I don't feel like being inside
All day outside doesn't look too cold
She taught us how to play games and hold hands and be friends with each other
but we're not friends with each other anymore
Well, I guess this has got to be that way
Well, I don't want any part of it at all
I know a girl who spent her summer here on my street
Freedom was her name
where did she go, where did she go?
Now a new change tries to hold me in place
maturity and responsibility
where did she go, where did she go, where did she go?

There's a Metal Head in the Parking Lot

Some days I don't feel like being grown-up
Some days I just feel like looking far away
Well, I've never understood why the closer you come to make your own decisions and be self-sufficient
Well, you've gotta conform to the will of the world
Well, she left right before I turned eighteen
Well, I just really started missing her now
I know a girl who spent her summer here on my street
Freedom was her name
where did she go, where did she go? 
Now a new change tries to hold me in place
maturity and responsibility 
where did she go, where did she go? 
Some days I don't feel like being inside 
All day outside doesn't look too cold 
She taught us how to play games and hold hands and be friends with each other 
but we're not friends with each other anymore  
Well, I guess this has got to be that way 
Well, I don't want any part of it at all
I know a girl who spent her summer here on my street
Freedom was her name
where did she go, where did she go?
Now a new change tries to hold me in place 
maturity and responsibility
where did she go, where did she go, where did she go?

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.
