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
