I stood by somebody else and then I stood by you
I couldn't move my legs, I didn't know what to do
I fail to find the words, I try hard to be cool
I die to hear your voice, it's smoothly ringing in the room

I see you a surgeon in the looks, what could you possibly see in me?
I lost the job I had, who picked me up when I'm more in doubt
I'll let you cut me up, I know you hate to see me bleed
Is it the color of my blood or me incomplete?

18, they had it out for us and we were always set for a fall
You saved 1979, to me it was the end of the world
Yeah, right, we're safe, we're cool
I know you always wanted more
Pick me, we're so clean, we'll wake up when the worst is over

Did I tell you I was premature? I'm not fit to follow rules
I always ***k things up, I guess that makes life more interesting
You think that I'm absurd, well certainly with you
I am absolutely ***ured I am ill conceived

18, they had it out for us and we were always set for a fall
You saved 1979, to me it was the end of the world
Yeah, right, we're safe, we're cool
I know you always wanted more
Pick me, we're so clean, we'll wake up when the worst is over

There is always something wrong but I need to see it through
I don't mean to be obsessed, I don't need to be amused
I can't stand to be a stain that needs to be removed
If I sacrificed myself then I'd know I never knew you

18, they had it out for us and we were always set for a fall
You saved 1979, to me it was the end of the world
Yeah, right, we're safe, we're cool
And we were always set for a fall, always set for a fall

18, they had it out for us, 18, they had it out for us
I know you always wanted more
Pick me, we're so clean, we'll wake up when the worst is over
Take me, steering wheel, to the cliff now we're going over
Kiss me, kiss and bleed, we'll wake up now, the worst is over
