Ten thousand drunken kids in a field can't be wrong
The song must be beautiful or they wouldn't sing along
And if sometimes the kids all seem a little sad,
it's 'cause they're saying goodbye to the youth they think they had
I see it in your eyes, you're sick of me lying
I want to tell the truth but I'm afraid that you'll leave
I sing like a child, to keep me from dying
I'm 14 forever, if I make you believe
I'm 14 forever, if I make you believe
I'm 14 forever, if I make you believe
The hit is hammered out, the audience erupts
The revolution starts in a sea of paper cups
We look behind us when you cheer for someone else
I'm the only lover you can keep upon the shelf
I hear it in your voice, you're tired of the song now
and deep inside your mind you hear a song of your own
But keep me beside you 'cause it's been too long now
I'm 14 forever, so don't leave me alone
I'm 14 forever, so don't leave me alone
I'm 14 forever, so don't leave me alone
I'm 14 forever
I remember on the sidewalk when I bike up to the hills
You singing in the headphones as I told you that I will
That song again in the alleyway takes me to my door
I'll be back for more, I'll be back for more,
I'll be back for more, I'll be back for more
