Catch 22

He ain't buying her the white brick house with flowers in the front

He ain't going back to see the ring she says she's loved for months

He calls her honey, but he spends his time and money at the bar

The clock says 3 a.m. and she says, "Call me if you can"

Her friends call him Peter and call Broadway Neverland

One day, he'll settle down, she tells herself that's just how they are

Time moves on for worse or better

Forever young ain't young forever

Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew

Aren't you tired of chasing someone who's still

Trying to catch 22?

She pays for their apartment till he gets it figured out

And tells herself that it's her earring she found in the couch

If she can't change him, no one can, but damn, that boy still ain't a man

Oh, it's funny how

Time moves on for worse or better

Forever young ain't young forever

Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew

Aren't you tired of chasing someone who's still

Trying to catch 22?

Trying to catch 22

She's crying in the bathroom while he's God knows where right now

He ain't a father figure, but she hopes he'll figure it out

Time moves on for worse or better

Forever young ain't young forever

Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew

Aren't you tired of chasing someone who's still

Trying to catch 22?
