Lyrics

Eighteen

Don't wanna be eighteen with responsibilities
Sometimes I get scared of growing up
Entering a world with broken dreams
Sometimes I get scared and throw it all up

And June the third is
Coming closer and I'm
Nowhere near closure

Don't wanna be eighteen when I can't ride a bike
Still hang onto my sheets during storms
In my bed I'm ten but I can't shut my eyes
I still wish I wore a school uniform

And June the third is
Coming closer and I'm
Nowhere near closure

Don't wanna be eighteen with a messy room
Still wonder what lingers under my bed at night
Kinda wish I stayed at my mother's home
Are we gonna know what it's like to be blind?

'Cause June the third is
Coming closer and I'm
Nowhere near closure

    Maybe it's not her best, but it is still a very strong album.

    Inventive, playful and, at times, truly magical.

    No gimmicks, no bullshit - it’s impossible to resist Beabadoobee at O2 Kentish Town Forum

    There are times with artists that you just *know*. Know that they’re destined to be playing far bigger venues than the tiny spots you first see them. Know they’re going to mean a lot to a lot of people. Know that the biggest and boldest version of themselves is only going to come in time. It wasn’t a matter of if things would become massive for Beabadoobee; it was always a case of when. Now in front of us, it’s nothing short of game-changing.
