We cannot be friends
Until you agree to a timely end
And we say that we fade into the night
Into the night
We feel most alive
When we have to say goodbye
And when you’re 21 you feel like your 55
Cause your friends won’t be behind you
But they’ll want to sing, sweet, into your eyes
Into your eyes
I want to take you in my hands
And see the innocence that passes through us all
Cause in my mind you’re still 16, but you want to be 21
But let me tell you I’m 21 and I feel like I’m 55
Cause my mom won’t be 35 again
And she’ll never sing me to sleep again
