Twenty Two

(album: Disconnect - 2016)

Well I don't want to be the one who's left out of the light,
All my friends are growing up and leading adult lives.
I'm 22 and I don't want to be told that
The life I lead is falling behind,
Don't take what's left of the ounce of youth that's still in me

Here's the thing I feel like I've been told for far too long that
I'm dreaming
And here's the thing I don't wanna be told that the life I lead is
The wrong story

Well I don't want to be the one whose goals are out of reach,
Working day by day just to survive is not my dream

Here's the thing I feel like I've been told for far too long that
I'm dreaming
And here's the thing I don't wanna be told that the life I lead is
The wrong story

I'll let it slip away,
Out of my arms.
Nothing feels as good
As these long drives.
The nights we won't forget
Are the ones we felt alive

So here's the thing I feel like I've been told for far too long that
I'm dreaming
And here's the thing I don't wanna be told that the life I lead is
The wrong story

(You said "get over this dream you've been chasing"
Well I'll never give up on this
You don't understand that this is all we have, this all we are)

So here's the thing I feel like I've been told for far too long that
I'm dreaming
And here's the thing I don't wanna be told that the life I lead is
The wrong story
