“18” is the fifth track on 5 Seconds Of Summer’s self-titled debut. It’s a bouncy track about the troubles of age and dating someone who’s older. It was also the first track on their live album LIVESOS.
Billboard thought positively of it, with editor Jason Lipshutz saying:
The entire appeal of 5 S...
[Intro: All, Michael]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Woo!)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1: Luke, Ashton, Calum]
And I wish that I was eighteen to do all the things you read in a magazine
I'm, I'm not saying I wanna be Charlie Sheen (Hey!)
She's just a little bit older, but I want to get to know her
But she says it's already over
[Pre-Chorus: Calum & Ashton]
So, tell me, what else can I do?
I bought my fake ID for you
[Chorus: All]
She told me to meet her there
I can't afford the bus fare
I'm not old enough for her
I'm just waiting till I'm eighteen
[Post-Chorus: All]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: Calum, Ashton, Michael]
I think she wants to get with me, but she's got a job in the city
Says that she's always too busy (Hey!)
She's got a naughty tattoo in a place that I wanna get to
But my mom still drives me to school
[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton]
So, tell me, what else can I do?
I bought my fake ID for you
[Chorus: All]
She told me to meet her there
I can't afford the bus fare
I'm not old enough for her
I'm just waiting till I'm eighteen
You got me waitin' in a queue
For a bar I can't get into
I'm not old enough for you
I'm just waiting till I'm eighteen
[Bridge: Luke, Luke & Calum, All]
In my bedroom thinkin' of ya
Your pictures in my private folder
I know one day that I will hold her
I'll make my move when I get older
Make my move when I get older
[Chorus: All]
She told me to meet her there
I can't afford the bus fare
I'm not old enough for her
I'm just waiting till I'm eighteen
You got me waitin' in a queue
For a bar I can't get into
I'm not old enough for you
I'm just waiting till I'm eighteen
[Outro: Luke, Michael]
I'm so sick of waiting till I'm eighteen (Haha)
