When she was 22 the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
She's got an alright job but it's not a career
Whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears
'Cause all she wants is a boyfriend, she gets one night stands
She's thinking how did I get here, I'm doing all that I can
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes, ah ah, ah ah.
It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers, ah ah, ah ah.
Yeah,
We're happy free confused and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical, oh, yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines
It's time
Oh oh!
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright
If we just keep dancing like we're
22
22
It seems like one of those nights,
This place is too crowded.
Too many cool kids, ah ah, ah ah (who's Taylor Swift anyway? ugh)
It seems like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming
Instead of sleeping.
Yeah,
We're happy free confused and lonely in the best way
It's miserable and magical, oh, yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks
It's time
Oh oh!
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright (alright)
If we just keep dancing like we're
22
22
I don't know about you
22
22
It feels like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene.
It feels like one of those nights,
We won't be sleeping.
It feels like one of those nights,
You look like bad news,
I gotta have you,
I gotta have you.
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me (you don't know about me)
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright
If we just keep dancing like we're
22
22
22, yeah, yeah
22, yeah, yeah
It feels like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights,
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights,
You look like bad news,
I gotta have you,
I gotta have you.

What, what, what chu want?
My thing is a real fine thing
It's a thing it's a real fine thing
It ain't broke, it don't need a fix
36-22-36
I got a gyroscope goin' round and round
Got a Thunderbird take me all over town
Got a transistor radio standin' on the mix
36-22-36
36-18-36
where'd she go?
What chu say? 36-22-36
What chu say? 36-22-36
You want what? 36-22-36
What chu say? 36-22-36
What chu want?
The kitchen drawers were open
Hot water in the bath
And the phone call that you promised me
I'd given up on last
I was only 22
All undone and overdue
My friends burned all around me
And the smoke was full of you
But let's stop here for a prayer
For what happened there
And let us have a beer
For anyone who's still here
I didn't leave a letter
I just wrote my baby's name
On the mirror all steamed over
With water, heat and shame
All hopes were long-time missing
They'd had enough of me
I found them hanging through the moon
From the Hooker oak tree
The knife was on the basin
Wrapped in my baby's towel
My friend the water let me in
And I lowered myself down
Cause you can drink and you can shake
And you can dry up bitter tears
But the first to pass right through you
Will age you fifty years
And you could say, 'well I don't know
You got to love just the same'
But I say all I got
Was a phone call that never came
The towel was lying open
And it hurt so bad
There was red smoke in the water
And all the things we'd had
Now honey you don't need this heart
Now that I'm dead and gone
So dig me up and give me back
What I never should've lost
I was falling asleep
You see I felt a little weak
I closed my eyes and thought of you
As the phone let out a ring
5-22-02
That's when I told you
5-22-02
Did you ever feel the way?
The feeling of a day gone by
I was hoping you felt that thing too
Could you stand another day
Making habits out of our gone bys?
You and I have better things to do
5-22-02
That's when I told you
5-22-02
Did you ever feel the day?
The feeling of the night gone by?
I kept hoping you felt that thing too
Now the mirror's on the bed
And the shades are black and lead, she said
It was then that everything was mine
5-22-02
That's when I told you
5-22-02
All your life you've been holding on, holding on
All your life you've been holding on, holding on
Could you stand another day
Making habits out of our gone bys?
You and I have better things to do
5-22-02
That's when I told you
5-22-02
That's when I told you
5-22-02
That's when I told you
