eight-teen

Four more years to go I told myself
I was so young, nieve
Only eight-teen
If I had known then what I know now
I'd run like hell
You've only got one chance to get away
Before the real world leaves you there to stay
I was so young, nieve
Only eight-teen
Could of jumped ship but I stayed for the ride
Convincing myself that in just four years
I'd be free to follow my dreams
But four turned into five
Time turned into money
Life turned into pride
Dreams turned into broken promises
And now I'm left behind
If I had known then what I know now
I'd run like hell
You've only got one chance to get away
Before the real world leaves you there to stay
I was so young, nieve
Only eight-teen
