lyrics

20 Years

Steal me out from under these covers
And steal me out from under this rain cloud
88 keys and not a door to be seen
Am I steering or just staring out the window?

Tonight seems as good a night as ever
To throw everything I own into the trash
And live on the street in squalor and defeat
With nothing to say or to ask

In 20 years all you’ve done is wait for something more to come
In 20 more, you’ll just do the same. Will you ever be someone?
In 20 years all you’ve done is wait for something more to come
In 20 more, you’ll just do the same. Will you ever be someone?

I’ve been wishing for thunder
But all I get is the quiet sunrise
With skin and bones all paper and plastic
I’ve got matches and I’ve got alcohol

The steady hands of time spin round
Sucking you right into the floor
You can make a hundred (w)holes empty or full
But what will they say when you fill the ground?

In 20 years all you’ve done is wait for something more to come
In 20 more, you’ll just do the same. Will you ever be someone?
In 20 years all you’ve done is wait for something more to come
In 20 more, you’ll just do the same. Will you ever be someone?
