Lyrics

I'm getting older, for a year or so now
Can't talk to girls unless I'm six beers down
Well, I'm a kid inside a grown-up suit
Playing house with a job and a car in my bedroom
It's filled with pictures that are blurry but cool
Like skinny-dipping in Jamie's pool all night
I got a hole that's in my ceiling that I talk to
Ask it questions about the things I've never asked you
He reminds me of a kinder, older man
Who would tell me stories about a time that only he knew
Don't tell me words that you can't say
Hand me the light, sticks, and the hair spray
Let's raise it up, the summer that I turned
Crossfaded on the summer that I turned
Haven't showered in the three days that we've been here
We won't stop to wait too soon
The night is young, and I need something more
Oh, 21
We're all fucked up
The summer that I turned
Oh, the better days
Oh, it's all you say
We're going beer for beer, we gotta shotgun more
Eight seconds 'til you hit the floor
We were broken before
So we'll call out
To all the pretty girls that have been here before
Lots to do and so much to explore
Where did it all go wrong?
Let me tell you, didn't think we would get this far
Don't tell me words that you can't say
Hand me the light, sticks, and the hair spray
Let's raise it up, the summer that I turned
Crossfaded on the summer that I turned
We haven't showered in the three days that we've been here
Start dancing in the living room when everybody's left
So let's raise it up for the summer that I turned
Oh, 21
We're having fun, no place to run
It's all okay, but I'm afraid to change
We're having fun, no place to run
It's all okay, we'll rearrange your picture frames
It's never gone away, 21
