I'm not yet eighteen
So am I, but I'm closer at eighteen
Loving like a grown-up while I'm still a teen
Pushing away love all because I'm still a teenI steal unknown glances
I've always known your glances
I plan on making advances
I'm waiting for your advancesI'll be the Verson for you Janyne
I don't think I can be the Janyne
I don't care about those meanness
I don't even know why I have this meannessWalk past you with a guitar
No eye contact as you walk past me with your guitar
Ready to write you a song, I'd go that far
You're trying but this isn't going that farYou've always been older
I've always been older
I don't think anyone's colder
I'm the one who's colderI'm trying hard to earn you
Walk close, I'll walk away from you
As if the only thing I have is you
I'm not the only possible one for youI have been focused
I was so out of focus
You could've been my muse
I don't want to be a museEnough talking back
After all I've done, I never want to go back
The efforts aren't meant to be left at the back
So enough talking backI will talk back
I know your efforts, You never want to go back
I didn't leave your efforts, I just walked back
I will never stop talking backWe have plenty of time
But for love, I don't have time
You will, Once you become mine
That's not my focus and you cannot call me "mine"I gave so many signs
I didn't see any signs
I sent so many signals
I was blacked out of signalsYou're not yet eighteen
You're just closer at eighteen
Maybe I can be Janyne without Verson
I'll remain the person you know as VersonIt wasn't you
But it's always been you
I don't know what to do
You don't have to worry about anything, let me doYou're not responsible for it
Yet here I am, I want to go for it
I never asked you to do it
I know, just please, let's go meetYou're not at your legal age yet, so do I
I know, I'm not acting odd, do I?
You're not the type of guy, you're always shy
I know, I don't have the needed might
