lyrics

Let's all get wasted
In a house that isn't ours
Lets all smoke some cigarettes
In the back seat of your mum's car
She'll never notice
Cause we were never here
Instead we'll sit in the park
And drink all her beer
And I got friends who like me
Love to be lonely
Hate it at parties
Cause they're weird and lame
Do you need anything at all?
Well my needs are so small
Just sit with me
So i can be happy

I'm not as sad
As I've always been
At 18
I'm starting
To like myself again
And it's care free
To not be unhappy
Could you be with me?
For me, For me, For me?

Responsibilities
Hit me like a bad dream
Remind me not to go out in
The rain on my own
Without a jacket or coat
Or someone to hold
And walk with me to
The end of my street
You're like a nice dream
You're at all my shows
And you're always at home
Sat on the windowsill
And round my friends you
Like to admit
It's not all as shit
As it used to be

I'm not as sad
As I've always been
At 18
I'm starting
To like myself again
And it's care free
To not be unhappy
Could you be with me?
For me, For me, For me?

Could you be with me?
For me, For me?
