[Verse 1]
Run away for the weekend
Take a second to breath and do whatever I want
Never wanted to be in, shoes you tried to fit me in
'Cause they always felt wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna go back in time just like Michael J. Fox
Run down the halls like the breakfast club
Find the girl I forgot
Tell her have some fun
Don't take yourself so serious

[Chorus]
I want to act my age
I want to make my own mistakes
I want to do like they do in an 80's movie, act my age
I want to act my age
I don't have that much time to waste
I want to do like they do in an 80's movie, act my age

[Verse 2]
Sneakin' in through the windows
Sneakin' liquor 'cause we don't have a fake ID
Rubbin' off all our make up
Cryin' over a breakup
Maybe that's what I need
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna be at the end of Patrick Swayze's arms
I wanna get lost just like The Goonies are
Find the girl I forgot
Tell her have some fun
Don't take yourself so serious

[Chorus]
I want to act my age
I want to make my own mistakes
I want to do like they do in an 80's movie, act my age
I want to act my age
I don't have that much time to waste
I want to do like they do in an 80's movie, act my age

[Bridge]
Feels like I'm growing up too fast
Don't wanna get there and look back
Regret all the memories I never got to have
I want to act my age
I want to make my own mistakes
I want to do like they do in an 80's movie

[Chorus]
I want to act my age (act my age)
I want to make my own mistakes
I want to do like they do in an 80's movie, act my age
(What they do in 80's movies)
I want to act my age
I don't have that much time to waste
(That much time)
I want to do like they do in an 80's movie
Act my (act my age)
