about

“18” is a coming to age story detailing the emotions of leaving high school, family, and home without knowing who you truly are or what will come next in your life. Ryans speaks on feeling like he is still in the honeymoon phase of his previous journey and that he and others might be in way over their heads as they excitedly begin their next phase in life. This story, however, is relatable to all, not just new college students. This journey can speak to any new phase in the lives of listeners. Ryans uses an RnB produced track with tight vocal harmonies, airy electronic tones, and wave-like melodies to relay his emotions. JB Ryans makes one point clear: No matter what it is you are going through you will overcome it. As said in the bridge of the song, “You will figure you out. Just be patient with yourself and have a little fun too”.

lyrics

We’re at summers end
Most kids will see their old friends
In the halls party weekends
But I’m at the end
Cause I’m on my way to leave home again
Don’t know how this will ends
I’m used to fake friends behind silhouettes
And my heads back there when

All I got was stares
I felt like no one cared
Just a guy with a beanie on his head
Carrying those lies spread and I
Don’t know if things can change
Will it all stay the same
I don’t know but I’ll try
I’ll try cause I’m

Because I'm eighteen
I'm on the road broken but it's all right (All right)
Carrying loose baggage but we’ll be fine (Be fine)
Don’t know who I am but I have time (Yeah)
Cause I’m eighteen
I'm leaving all I know for a good while (Good while)
Will I come back home or lose my mind (Lose my mind)
Myself to the hellbent trials
Of being eighteen
Of being eighteen
Of being eighteen
Of being eighteen

Everyone’s geeking
Everyone's freaking out about their freedom
From the chains of mom
But I'm wondering if I'm wrong are we’re all wrong
Still in the honeymoon phase from our last song
We lived for so long but we didn’t breathe
Faking shit like who are we supposed to be
How can I believe in me when I don’t even know me
Who am I

Am I that guy with the beanie who
Walked around caring lies down the hall who
That guy that no one gave a damn who
Those days were long ones and I don’t know if things can change
Will it all stay the same
Don't know but I'll try
I’ll try cause I’m

Because I'm eighteen
I'm on the road broken but it's all right (All right)
Carrying loose baggage but we’ll be fine (Be fine)
Don’t know who I am but I have time (Yeah)
Cause I’m eighteen
I'm leaving all I know for a good while (Good while)
Will I come back home or lose my mind (Lose my mind)
Myself to the hellbent trials
Of being eighteen
Of being eighteen
Of being eighteen
Of being eighteen

At 18 we step into the world not knowing what to expect and some don’t really know
Who they really are what they want to do with there lives
And honestly life doesn't wait for you either
But that's okay
Whether you are 18 19 20 or however old you are
You’ll figure things out
You'll figure you out
Just be patient with yourself and have a little fun too

I'm on the road broken but its all right
Carrying loose baggage but we’ll be fine
Don’t know who I am but I have time
Cause I’m eighteen
Leaving all I know for a good while
Will I come back home or lose my mind
Myself to the hellbent trials
Of being eighteen
