21.

Twenty one to date and still I'm staying up too late

trying to think of things that I can do,

twenty one false starts and several broken hearts,

with one especially for you.

 

We can sleep in fields and watch the world go by,

or step outside and simply spend some time,

don't ever say I don't do anything for you,

because that simply isn't true.

 

Twenty one again and still I'm playing with my friends,

trying to sing songs that we all know,

twenty one times I write the same old lines,

can't think of anything that goes

 

We can sleep in fields and watch the world go by,

or step outside and simply spend some time,

don't ever say I don't do anything for you,

because that simply isn't true.

 

Now I've got the keys that can unlock the door,

but what should I do once I'm standing in the hall,

they say I've never been twenty one before,

not feeling half as sure.

 

Twenty one right now and not allowed to feel down,

with a great big oyster at my feet,

twenty one year olds should live like there's no tomorrow,

fall in love with everyone they meet.

 

We can sleep in fields and watch the world go by,

or step outside and simply spend some time,

don't ever say I don't do anything for you,

because that simply isn't true.
