Description
Love at eighteen is like breathing for the first time after a long run. It makes your head spin a little, takes your breath away, but it seems that you cannot live without this air. Back then, everything was simpler: one kiss could replace a thousand promises, and the world fit between two palms pressed against each other's cheeks. Adulthood came, but the habit of searching for that very feeling remained. Where time stretches like the film of an old movie, where nothing needs to be explained because ‘we’ is already the answer. And even if only glimpses of that childish, naive warmth remain, it still pulls you back there - even if only for one song.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I got a heart, and I got a soul
Believe me, I will use them both
We made a start, be it a false one, I know
Baby, I don't want to feel alone
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms
Are made for holding you, oh-oh
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
We took a chance, God knows we tried
Yet all along, I knew we'd be fine
So pour me a drink, oh love
And let's split the night wide open
And we'll see everything we can
Living love in slow motion, motion, motion
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I can do is say that these arms
Are made for holding you, oh, whoa
And I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
When we were 18
Oh Lord, when we were 18
Kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground
I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I can do is say that these arms
Are made for holding you
And I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
