Los Mejores Años

I only came because my friends are here
Honestly, this is not really my thing
I'm not interested in kissing a stranger
I hold a girl's hair in the bathroom
Who am I fooling? It's not that fun
Who do I believe amidst all this noise?

It's not all the time, maybe just sometimes
I feel more alone surrounded by people
And I said I had friends
But I only trust two
And more and more
The rest feel like acquaintances

And in 6 months, everyone is moving to another state
To study business or become lawyers
It seems absurd, all my future
Depends on a university diploma
They say these are
The best years
I'm honest and a bit arbitrary
A perfectionist since elementary

Sometimes I think a lot about the future
I just want to look back with pride
And I don't want to face the reality
That love isn't like in movies

I don't know when it will be but it's scary
To stop being a child and become an adult
I said that adolescence
I don't understand it, nor do I have fun
But sometimes, I wish that everything
Mattered less to me

And at 17, it's strange to think
That so many people become strangers
I've never said it, but I can't imagine
Life after turning 24
They say these are
The best years
The best years
They say
The best years

They say
The best years
They say
The best years
They say
6 months have passed
Everyone moved
I turned 18

Saying it is so strange
It seems absurd to me
All my future
Depends on a university diploma
They say these are
The best years
I don't understand it but
I swear I try
They say these are
The best years
