18 Going on 55

There's an empty room

There's an empty place

One less around the table

Since your moving day

There's an empty room

There's a missing face

Still feels uncomfortable

I won't see you today

You're 18 I'm goin' on 55

For the moment it's time to say goodbye

There's an open door

There's an open space

So good to see you

Settle in your new place

There's an open door

There's a twist of fate

It's time to see through

Decisions that we made

You're 18 I'm goin' on 55

For the moment it's time that we divide

There's a rising star

There's a rising stair

Call me anytime

You take a break for air

There's a rising star

There's a rising stair

I'll meet you on the landing

On your way up there

You're 18 I'm goin' on 55

Seize the moment -- it's gonna turn out fine

You're 18 I'm goin' on 55

These are the moments – it's good to be alive

You're 18 I'm goin' on 55

...come home anytime
