Mystery Jets - Twenty One (Hidden Track) lyrics

rate me

The boy who cried wolf couldn't take it anymore

They all tried to help but he'd heard it all before

Now he sits in a room with a lock on the door

Holding pictures in his arms and staring at the floor

But boy, you don't look a day over twenty one

But you already feel like half your life has gone

And you're close to the edge but you're hanging on

Do yourself a favour, don't do yourself any harm

And you want to tell your story but you don't know where to start

Well, your mother's pretty lonely but she don't have a heart

And you met the rich and famous and they're screwed up the same

Even "love will tear us apart" don't ease the pain

You can wipe the blood from your shoes and the tear from your eye

But the scars on your arms, well, they're harder to hide

Drawing on a cigarette, hoping your head will clear

Is like rubbing on a lamp untill a genie appears

And the last time you counted you were twenty three

But you still don't know who you want to be

And all of your heroes took their own lives

Do yourself a favour and take my advice

Oh you want to tell your story but you don't know where to start

Well, your mother's pretty lonely but she don't have a heart

And you met the rich and famous and they're screwed up the same

Even "love will tear us apart" don't ease the pain

Oh boy, you don't look a day over twenty one

But you already feel like half your life has gone

And you're close to the edge but you're hanging on

Do yourself a favour, don't do yourself any harm

And you want to tell your story but you don't know where to start

Well, your mother's pretty lonely but she don't have a heart

And you met the rich and famous and they're screwed up the same

Even "love will tear us apart" don't ease the pain
