About 8TEEN

“8TEEN,” like the title suggests, is an ode to being 18 years old. Khalid touches on first loves, strict parents, staying out late, smoking pot and being with your friends on the track, summing it up with a single refrain: "Let’s do all the stupid shit that young kids do…" "With the project, a lot of the upbeat songs seem happy. Even though the song is very upbeat, pay attention to the words long enough, and it’s like, “This isn’t the happiest song ever. .

8TEEN Lyrics

[00:01.74] Yeah!
[00:04.01] Ha
[00:06.18] Yeah!
[00:08.34] Ha
[00:11.49] Woke up a little too late this morning
[00:15.83] But I think I'll be okay
[00:19.19] I'll be okay
[00:20.51] Damn, my car still smells like marijuana
[00:24.96] My mom is gonna kill me
[00:28.05] Gonna kill me
[00:29.66] Traffic's backed up from corner to corner
[00:33.92] So I guess I'll hit the highway
[00:37.15] The highway
[00:38.83] Shake away all the stress off my shoulders
[00:43.32] Gonna have a good day
[00:46.44] A good day
[00:47.30] Because I'm eighteen
[00:49.40] And I still live with my parents
[00:51.81] Yeah they're not like yours
[00:53.92] Well yours are more understanding
[00:56.33] I've never fell in love
[00:58.59] I saved those feelings for you
[01:01.28] So let's do all the stupid shit that young kids do
[01:05.48] It's me and you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[01:10.56] You, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[01:14.70] Just me and you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[01:19.74] Let's do all the stupid shit that young kids do
[01:24.54] No I've never really been the smartest
[01:29.06] Yeah I've made my mistakes
[01:32.19] My mistakes
[01:33.78] You were there when times were at their darkest
[01:38.00] Always showing me the way
[01:41.79] Lead the way
[01:42.96] Your love seems to cut me deep, the sharpest
[01:47.24] You'll always have a part of me
[01:50.49] A part of me
[01:52.09] Losing you has always been the hardest
[01:56.33] I wish it were the old days (oh I wish it were the old days)
[02:00.40] 'Cause I was eighteen
[02:02.56] And I still lived with my parents
[02:04.89] Yeah they're not like yours
[02:07.17] Well yours were more understanding
[02:09.49] I never fell in love
[02:11.65] I saved those feelings for you
[02:14.41] When we did all the stupid shit that young kids do
[02:18.51] Just me and you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[02:23.69] You, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[02:27.61] Just me and you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[02:32.82] Let's do all the stupid shit that young kids do
[02:37.00] It's me and you
[02:39.43] You
[02:41.05] You, ooh, ooh, ooh
[02:43.90] You
[02:45.92] Just me and you
[02:48.42] You
[02:50.35] You, ooh, ooh, ooh
[02:53.12] Hey... hey
[02:55.36] Because I'm eighteen

[02:59.79] Yeah they're not like yours
[03:01.95] Well yours are more understanding
[03:04.28] I've never fell in love
[03:06.59] I saved those feelings for you
[03:09.45] So let's do all the stupid shit that young kids do
