Recorded live in studio April 2014 and written in Tisdale Apartment #4 at Keene State College April 2013. I turned Twenty-One on April 17th, 2013 and boy, was it different than I thought it would be. This song has mixed emotions about wanting to be older but not wanting things to change. Its a song I hope to sing when I do get older because it will remind me of how I was thinking when I turned 21.
lyrics
Verse: We use to stay up late and then sleep in, counting down the hours like we’re watching the wind, and we wished that we were older, so we could feel like men.
I don’t know where time goes when it changes my skin or my life.
Chorus: twenty-one, one more than twenty circles around the sun, and one more day this giant world has spun, and I don’t want to get older.
Verse: We use to try and say that we knew it all, exaggerate our climbs and lie about the falls not the way to live at all, but its so good to feel invincible.
Time seems so slow when you wish it would go fast, but it never lasts.
Chorus: twenty-one, one more than twenty circle around the sun, I swear my spirit it was born to run, and I don’t want to get older.
Bridge: Oh what I’d give to be this age and feel this way for life, and not have fears of coming short of promises. The way I feel, I feel so young, my heart is so alive and my youth and health are both of my accomplices. But then again I wish for the mind of a man that's about to die.
Chorus: Twenty-One, one more than twenty circles around the sun, I won't stop learning till my days are done, and I don’t want to get older.
