18 comin' on fast
I'm trying' to make 17 last
Everybody's impatient to have a beer in a bar instead of sipping' in a basement
Some of us are college bound
Some of us can't dig our roots out
Scholarships and Ivy Leagues
Swing a hammer for your daddy and you never leave

I hope we never change
Scribble it on that yearbook page
So cool with a fake ID
Pretty soon it won't mean a thing
Some day we're gonna wanna do all this all over
We're gonna wish we grew up slower

Quarter backs and homecoming queens
Cool kids and wannabes
Prom nights and limousines
We're gonna miss the times like these
People still talk about the good old days
Hell they probably kill just to be our age
And you know we can't turn back time so lets live it right

I hope we never change
Scribble it on that yearbook page
So cool with a fake ID
Pretty soon it won't mean a thing
Some day we're gonna wanna do all this all over
We're gonna wish we grew up slower

Live it up up up
Hey, no need to rush
We'll get there and let's enjoy the moment
Lay back in it like the Mississippi rolling

I hope we never change
Scribble it on that yearbook page
So cool with a fake ID
Pretty soon it won't mean a thing
Some day we're gonna wanna do all this all over
We're gonna wish we grew up slower

We're gonna wish we grew up slower
Yeah we grew up slower
Yeah we grew up slower
Grew up slower (live it up up up)
(We're gonna wanna do)
