twenty-one Lyrics

In a month or two we're finally there

The days of youth are suddenly behind me

I'm not sure what it is I should wear

Is it a day of celebration or defining

Celebrated twenty times in the past

this year feels so high it'll let me down

But it would be so fitting at last

To build expectations and watch them all cave in

I suppose that the sequel to my ongoing film has begun

And I wonder what's next

Like who'll make a feature

Does the good guy still win

Will I grow old just stuck in the past

I've been struggling in all that I do

Seems like all I can cling is the thought of you

Now I find myself turning a corner

At twenty-one never been more confused

For so long I had known it was true

When I can't fall asleep I surround the room

With the old memories of when we were eighteen and in love

So at peace thinking of what once was

Of all of the times that we shared

None were as happy as I remember them

But that's what's so nice in my head

I can patch it up until it's all one again

And when I tell other people I felt this way before

They say at least it'll make for good songs

Such a dull silver lining just rusting away

What's left of us as I move along

I've been struggling in all that I do

Seems like all I can cling is the thought of you

Now I find myself turning a corner

At twenty-one never been more confused

For so long I had known it was true

When I can't fall asleep I surround the room

With the old memories of when we were eighteen and in love

So at peace thinking of what once was

Cause in all of the things that I do

There's a part of me you wish I could find what's new

So at age twenty one blow the candles that light up the room

Wishing I could forget about you
