[Intro - Spoken / Guitar Feedback] One, two— Wait, is this thing on? (Guitar hit) Okay... Let's make some noise. [Verse 1] Black boots kicking down the basement stairs Cheap guitar, glitter in my hair Mom said, "Zoey, don't be home too late" I said, "Love you!" Then I left at eight Best friend's driving, windows down Three of us screaming through this sleepy town Twenty bucks and a half-full tank We're not famous yet— But hey, who asked? [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we're a mess Maybe that's the point Turn that little amp up Till we shake this joint [Chorus - Big Pop-Rock Hook] Eighteen and loud! Eighteen and loud! Eighteen, eighteen, eighteen and loud! Turn me up Don't turn me down Eighteen and loud! Eighteen and loud! Heart goes boom When the guitars come out Eighteen, eighteen— EIGHTEEN AND LOUD! [Verse 2] Bathroom mirror, fixing my eyeliner Some cute boy says, "Your band's kinda fire" I play it cool like, "Yeah, I know" Then text my girls: "OH MY GOD, HE CAME TO THE SHOW" Two A.M. at a roadside diner Fries in the middle, couldn't feel finer Stamp on my hand, ringing in my ears Laughing so hard that I'm crying tears Phone lights up: "WHERE ARE YOU?" Oops. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we're a mess Maybe that's the point Turn that little amp up Till we shake this joint [Chorus - Big Pop-Rock Hook] Eighteen and loud! Eighteen and loud! Eighteen, eighteen, eighteen and loud! Turn me up Don't turn me down Eighteen and loud! Eighteen and loud! Heart goes boom When the guitars come out Eighteen, eighteen— EIGHTEEN AND LOUD! [Bridge - Half-Time / Emotional] Maybe someday we'll play New York Maybe L.A., maybe world tour Maybe this guitar stays in my room Covered in stickers, gathering dust But tonight... My friends are here My voice is gone My makeup's wrecked My favorite song Is one we wrote On my bedroom floor And I've never felt This alive before [Build] One... Two... One, two, three, FOUR! [Final Chorus - Explosive / Gang Vocals] Eighteen and loud! Eighteen and loud! Eighteen, eighteen, eighteen and loud! Turn me up Don't turn me down Eighteen and loud! Eighteen and loud! Small-town girl Gonna shake this town Eighteen, eighteen— EIGHTEEN AND LOUD! [Outro - Guitar Feedback / Zoey Laughing] Okay... I definitely can't hear anything. (Laughs) Same time tomorrow? [Hard Stop]
