Sleep with all the lights on   You're not so happy, you're not secure   And you're dying to look cute in your blue jeans   But you're plastic just like everyone   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 and you're 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   Baring your mattress, baring your soul   And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos   But you're searching just like everyone, could be anyone   And those 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 I.D.'s,   And real disasters ensue   It's cool to take these chances   It's cool to fake romances   And grow up fast, and grow up fast   And grow up fast, and grow up fast
