Upstairs in your bedroom

That's where you hide away

With your pen and pencil

That's how you escape

No matter what they tell you

Just don't fade away

The pictures that you are drawing

Will be real someday

She's trying to protect you

One day he'll respect you

They just don't know what to say

But, hold on, I know

Twenty-two's around the corner

Hold on a little bit longer

Promise it's gonna get better

Little do you know

Twenty-two's around the corner

Hold on a little bit longer

Promise it's gonna get better

Girl, you're so close

Twenty-two’s around the corner

Hiding in the hallways

Kids can be so mean

Everybody's looking

But you still don't feel seen

The cheerleaders are cheering

But you can't wait to leave

You might don’t have a prom dress

But you’re still a queen

They might not like you

But there's no one like you

And one day you'll find your own way

So hold on, I know

Twenty-two's around the corner

Hold on a little bit longer

I promise it's gonna get better

Little do you know

That twenty-two's around the corner

So hold on a little bit longer

I promise it's gonna get better

Girl, you're so close

Twenty-two's around the corner

So, hold on, I know

Twenty two's around the corner

Hold on a little bit longer

I promise it's gonna get better

Little do you know

That twenty-two's around the corner

So hold on a little bit longer

I promise it's gonna get better

Girl, you're so close

Twenty-two's around the corner
