about

If you could go back and un-meet someone, would you?

18 again isn't wanting to go back to being 18 for good reasons, it's wishing you could go back and un-meet someone, un-learn them. 18 was the age I wish I could return to and change my decision and un-do my relationship. Don't get me wrong being 18 was great, but this is a what-if I was never with you and we just stayed friends, what would've happened?

lyrics

[VERSE 1]
Sometimes, I wonder what it would have been like, if we hadn’t of met that night,
If I never knew you.
Other days, I remember the good times, and then I wanna rewind cuz I know that it would’ve been better

When I didn’t know your name or your favourite thing to drink,
the way you just need to drive when you can’t think
Wish I didn’t know everything…

[PRE]
Cuz maybe then it wouldn’t hurt so much,
I wouldn’t miss you the away I do
I wouldn’t be thinking of you
and all the things that I can’t undo.

[CHORUS]
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be 18 again
back when, back when, when we were still friends
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be 18 again
before it was the end, when we didn’t have to pretend

I, I, I wanna be, I, I, I I wanna be I

[VERSE 2]
I wonder, if I’ll be able to erase, the way you used to say my name,
and the way you held me.
Will there ever be somebody else, who makes me feel the way I felt,
when it was you and me together…

Wish I didn’t know your name or your favourite thing to drink,
the way you just need to drive when you can’t think
Wish I didn’t know everything… wish I wasn’t faded.
Now I sitting here alone, with a glass full of regret,
Everyone’s asking why you’re not there
But if you were never there…

[PRE]
Maybe then it wouldn’t hurt so much,
I wouldn’t miss you the away I do
I wouldn’t be thinking of you
and all the things I can’t undo.

[CHORUS]
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be 18 again
back when, back when we were still friends
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be 18 again
back when, back when, when we didn’t have to pretend
Back when it was simple, before the end
back when it was easy, I wanna, I wanna forget …

Who you are…

[BRIDGE]
I know we can’t turn back, but would you even want to,
if you had the option, I know I would go back to...

When I didn’t know your name or your favourite thing to drink,
the way you just need to drive when you can’t think
Wish I didn’t know everything… wish I wasn’t faded.
Now I sitting here alone, with a glass full of regret,
Everyone’s asking why you’re not there
If you were never there…

[PRE]
Maybe then it wouldn’t hurt so much,
I wouldn’t miss you the away I do
I wouldn’t be thinking of you
and all the things I can’t undo.

[CHORUS]
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be 18 again
back when, back when, when we were still friends
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be 18 again
before it was the end, when we didn’t have to pretend

I, I, I wanna be, I, I, I wanna be I
