we on
Corbett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna talk about the new guy you
Call up every night you're feeling alone
I would rather have you here by my side
While watching every one of our favorite shows
But here we are baby
Crying so hard
The past is the past so let's drop it
But here we are baby
Biting this off
There's so much of this we learn from
We're 18
Is this really what it comes to
Driving past your house at night
We're 18
I've been sitting driveway
I don't wanna go inside
I was thinking bout the table we sat at
Talking shit about the people we knew
Sitting there for hours were caught in a laugh track
What would all friends think if they knew too
The lipstick stains
Stuck on the glass panes
Were notes left there by you
I know I can't say
I'm glad that you came
But what else can I do cause
We're 18
Is this really what it comes to
Driving past your house at night
We're 18
I've been sitting driveway
I don't wanna go inside
We're 18
But I can't wait
To laugh at these tears
We never thought we'd get here
Oh and i can't wait
To start a new year
And breath in your atmosphere
But here we are baby
Crying so hard
The past is the past is the past
We're 18
Is this really what it comes to
Driving past your house at night
We're 18
I've been sitting driveway
I don't wanna go inside
We're 18
But I can't wait
To laugh at these tears
We never thought we'd get here
Oh and i can't wait
To start a new year
And breath in your atmosphere




We're 18
We're 18
