29 Lyrics

He said

I'm twenty-nine, why won't life give me a break

All my friends have full time jobs

Get to travel at my age

Crazy

How things changed after dad passing away

Now I got to care for mom

And my sister every day

Wish that

Life was easy when the cards we're dealt are tragic

People understood how things don't fade by magic

All my problems won't get solved like they imagine

And I need some space

'cause I

Have let my world fall

To be on the ball

To find myself backed against the wall

And feeling so small

So tired of it all

Of trying when all I do is fall

Fifty-five and he looked me in the eye

He said son I feel afraid

And I'm still too young to die

Helpless

Spent my days seeking answers in the sky

Then it rained on my parade

Found religion was a lie

Faithless

I remembered all the words we hadn't spoken

Tried to stand and fight when all my bones were broken

Felt my lifeboat coasting slowly into the open

Wasting with the tide

'cause I

Have let my world fall

To be on the ball

To find myself backed against a wall

And feeling so small

So tired of it all

Of trying when all I do is fall

Fall

Fall
