Sleep with all the lights on
You're not so happy
You're not secure
You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans,
but you're plastic just like everyone
You're just like everyone
And that face you paint is pressed
impressing most of us as permanent
and I'd like to see you undone
College night will draw the crowds
Dorms unload & your 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 lines

Sleep with all the sheets off
bearing your mattress
bearing your soul
And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos
but you're searching just like everyone
could be anyone
And the friends that you have are the best
impressing most of us as permanent
and I'd like to see you undone
Youth'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 lines

We're not twenty-one,
but the sooner we are,
the sooner the fun will begin,
so get out your fake eyelashes,
and fake id's,
& real disasters ensue,
it's cool to take these chances
It's cool to fake romances
& grow up fast
