Eighteen Again
Yearning for Youth's Return: Tara-Bridget's 'Eighteen Again' Emotionally Recounts Longing and Regret
Lyrics
And When you tried me on for size, did I fit the way you like
When you tried me on for size, questioning if I met your expectations
Would you hem the edges
Asking if you would make adjustments or modifications
Trim me on the sides
Expressing a desire to be refined or improved on the sides
I wish I never crumbled way beneath the strand
Regretting a past moment of weakness or collapse beneath a challenging situation
I've only started what feels like is the end
Feeling like the beginning of something is actually the end
Wish my life were fiction
Expressing a desire for life to be a work of fiction, possibly implying a wish for a different reality
My heart and my brain are trading places
Indicating a struggle or confusion between emotions (heart) and rational thoughts (brain)
I wish that I could tay this way forever (I wish that I, I wish that I)
Expressing a desire to remain in a particular state indefinitely
I wish that I could be eighteen again
Expressing a wish to go back to the age of eighteen, possibly a time of innocence or positive memories
I wish that I could stay here with you forever
Desiring to stay in a specific situation forever
I wish that I could be eighteen again
Reiterating the wish to be eighteen again
Shame-fasted and afraid, I wake up to nightmares that unsurprise
Feeling ashamed, fasting (possibly metaphorical), and waking up to expected nightmares
Here to announce the pain - The candles are waiting for me to cry
Announcing pain, with candles metaphorically representing a solemn or somber atmosphere
Somehow I'm on the cusp of greatness, no need for me to lie
Believing to be on the verge of achieving something great without the need for deception
And now lets face it, we've wasted
Acknowledging wasted time and facing the reality of it
All the years that were sweeter - I taste it
Reflecting on lost years that were once sweeter, tasting the regret
Oh, I'd never take it back (Oh)
Affirming that certain experiences, even if challenging, are not regretted
Oh, I'd never take it back (Oh)
Repeating the sentiment of not wanting to take back certain experiences
I wish that I could tay this way forever
Reiterating the wish to remain in a particular state indefinitely
I wish that I could be eighteen again
Expressing the desire to go back to the age of eighteen again
I wish that I could stay here with you forever
Desiring to stay with someone specific forever
I wish that I could be eighteen again
Reiterating the wish to be eighteen again
