Gabe Ma**ey - Twenty lyrics

[Verse 1] Pine for days of ballroom halls, where afterwards you'd go and spread your life out in the car, and crash before you hit the bar You lack the motivation to chase a spark that ignites the flame in your heart A replacement to keep you warm in the dead of the coldest winter [Chorus] Perpetually stuck at seventeen, while you make your home in a ditch at twenty So you live for the nights that you won't remember, just like you did this past December It took a few hours just to realize we have nothing in common after years of getting this right Until your spirit dies with the nights you won't get back inside [Verse 2] Sing your songs of dead remorse, while you send your videos into dead air and wait for the alcohol to run it's beaten course Around the racetracks inside your brain, processed by memories, it's all the same If you think about the "good old days," has anything really changed? [Chorus] Perpetually stuck at seventeen, while you make your home in a ditch at twenty So you live for the nights that you won't remember, just like you did this past December It took a few hours just to realize we have nothing in common after years of getting this right Until your spirit dies with the nights you won't get back inside [Bridge] Forever chasing the teenage dream, this lack of responsibility In anything that you could ever say or try to mean So click your heels and wish for home, and pen your words into your phone 'cause you can break all your rules or spend the night all alone You shouldn't miss the nights like these where you're smiling all the way to The Party And close the door of the hotel room between the dunes [Chorus] Perpetually stuck at seventeen, while you make your home in a ditch at twenty So you live for the nights that you won't remember, just like you did this past December It took a few hours just to realize we have nothing in common after years of getting this right Until your spirit dies with the nights you won't get back inside [End] ((I don't know you And I don't want to)) (I swore you'd never change when I left for The Coast Although you'd think a year later would have some news to report And I thought that I'd miss you when you were silent for months Until conveniently you came around when everything was looking up I planned simple phrases out around in my head Until I realized that everything was better unsaid Now there's nothing I can do for you and nothing to say The price to pay.)
