21

Oh please not today
Not this morning
I'm tired of the sad things you say
and the way you're feeling
And it's so old when it's told
over and over
can't you talk about other things
it's always 'I this and I that'
I'm sorry but I is all I know
you didn't mind when we lay around
and loved before
like the times when the feelings
or never enough time
when there wasn't anybody else
but you staying over at my house
Sharing our views on the late issues
out cheap in Mexico everytime
on the cold downtown afternoon
Believe me that love past
Is all I know
You didn't mind when we wasted time
In love before
21 should mean having fun
There is no alive in you
21 with nothing hanging over you
I want nothing else
Oh please not today
you lay in bed everyday waiting
for me to pull you out
your sad words and tears
only love me only so long
Until I've had enough
Of seeing this side of you
until I've had enough
Of hearing this side of you
Of your voice
21 should mean having fun
There is no alive in you
21 with nothing hanging over you
I want nothing else
