Sleep with all the lights on
You're not so happy
You're not secureAnd you're dying to look cute
In your blue jeans
But you're plastic just like everyone
You're just like everyoneAnd that face you paint is pressed
Impressing most of us as permanent
But I'd like to see you undoneCollege night will draw the crowds
Dorms unload and you're heading out
Here is your moment to shine
Making up a history
It's nothing from the life you lead
But man, will they buy all your linesSleep with all the sheets off
Bearing your mattress
Bearing your soulAnd you're dying to look smooth
With your tattoos
But you're searching just like everyone
You could be anyoneAnd those friends you have are the best
Impressing most of us as permanent
But I'd like to see you undoneYouth's the most unfaithful mistress
Still we forge ahead to miss her
Rushing our moment to shine
Making up a history
It's nothing from the life you lead
But man, will they buy all your linesWe're not twenty-one
But the sooner we are
The sooner the fun will beginSo get out your fake eyelashes
And fake I.D.s
And real disasters ensueIt's cool to take these chances
It's cool to fake romances
And grow up fastAnd grow up fast
And grow up fast
