I saw the trees change
In that golden, glittering evening
I fell asleep there
And all around me angels were singing
And I dreamed I was aging away

I saw the future
And I still had all my close friends
I saw my daughter
In love with ponies and roses
She looked just like her mother

And with my heart shining through my chest
I provided her with light to grow
With my heart shining through my chest
I would light her way back home

And I know that life may be passing me by
But I want to be eighteen forever here
And I hope that life’s what I’m feeling inside
‘Cause I’m gonna be eighteen forever there.
And I swear I will do my best
To have the time of my life while I’m here

When I awoke there
I was overcome with direction
And as I walked home
I remembered lilacs and handsome nights
When I painted my hands with gold

With my heart shining through my chest
I illuminate the road ahead
And with my heart shining through my chest
I’m not ready to take it yet

And I know that life may be passing me by
But I want to be eighteen forever here
And I hope that life’s what I’m feeling inside
‘Cause I’m gonna be eighteen forever there
And I swear I will do my best
To have the time of my life while I’m here

And though the road has been laid out and now bends away
Can we just be still for a second more?
I know the road will move beneath our frightened feet
Even if we decide not to move at all

So with my heart shining through my chest
I’ll put one foot ahead
With my heart shining through my chest
I’ll take your hand in mine
And lead you through the night

I know that life may be passing me by
But I want to be eighteen forever here
And I hope that life’s what I’m feeling inside
‘Cause I’m gonna be eighteen forever there
And I swear I will do my best
If you swear you will do your best
We should all swear to do our best
To have the time of our lives while we’re here

While we’re here
I’m gonna be eighteen forever here
