22 Lyrics

I was only seventeen when

You showed up, a feathered dream

Something I wish I'd never seen

Slightly younger pretty face when

Life was just an empty suitcase

Oh, how I wish I'd given you space

Same me, different view

New perspective, without you

A landscape's beauty in my windowframe

But I'd choose you over it all again and again and again

I'm turning twentytwo

Still so much I'd love to do

This time I thought I wouldn't feel this blue

But then again there's you

I'm turning twentytwo

Still so much I wish I knew

This time I thought I had a little clue

But then again there's you

When I'm turning twentytwo

I was celebrating twenty years when

Life went down a different stream

Something I wish you'd never seen

Slightly older pretty face when

I packed my life in a little suitcase

Oh, how I wish I'd left you some space

Same me, different view

New perspective, without you

A big city's beauty in my windowframe

But I'd choose you over it all again and again and again

I'm turning twentytwo

Still so much I'd love to do

This time I thought I wouldn't feel this blue

But then again there's you

I'm turning twentytwo

Still so much I wish I knew

This time I thought I had a little clue

But then again there's you

When I'm turning twentytwo

There's a smell of dust from the piano

And I come to think I'm only 2 years away

From laughing, living if you hadn't let me leave

There's books in every faded colour

And I come to think I'm only 2 years away

From laughing, living, If I just told you I love you
