Nineteen by Tayten W!lson Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2021

[Verse 1]
Headlights bright in my rearview mirror and
Short attention spans
Speeding down Hollywood, running the yellow and
Thoughts of late-night plans
Pass a man standing under a traffic light
Curbside, curfews, and trust issues
Take an exit off onto my right
Brights shine in heavy trafficked Malibu

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, we knew better
Yeah, we really knew better
Tried to get together
When there wasn't a knot to hold us together

[Chorus]
But what could go wrong?
What could be so challenging?
How could I learn to be who I wanna be?
When I'm only ninеteen?
At only nineteen...
[Verse 2]
I wore my shades until a night with a full moon
Playеd it cool
Feet spread across the dash, all eyes on you
Like we used to do
Stares come across from the city lights
Bright from inside apartment windows
Cars passing under and into the night
Sights of cruising along the coast

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, we knew better
We knew we could do better
Tried to keep us together
Oh, why didn't I let her?

[Chorus]
What could've gone wrong?
What could've been so challenging?
Trying things we ain't ever seen
When we're only nineteen
At only nineteen...

[Verse 3]
We couldn't get it right
After all that we tried to do
Used to try and control our minds
Like we knew how
Like we knew better
[Pre-Chorus]
Stares come across from the city lights
Bright from inside apartment windows
Cars passing under and into the night
Sights of cruising along the coast

[Chorus]
We couldn't tell what could've gone wrong
Doing things that we shouldn't all along
Trying to figure out what we're meant to be
Living out of an L.A. movie scene
Pretending we're not nineteen
But we're nineteen

[Outro]
Well, we knew better
We knew we could do better
