Twenty

We were fifteen on the west coast
So far from the top
Plotting on the dream that we want most
How we’d take it from the world to the block
Well, playing The Roxy at eighteen
That was the last of you and me
Well jealousy’s a bitch, and I know that
Won’t let me focus on my own path
I shouldn’t see your wins as a set back
I didn’t know it’d be so hard to get a text back
I should be stoked on twenty-one
Not hung up on things I haven’t done, no
I’d love to say congratulations, but the truth is that it hurts
'Cause I just keep choking on eight letters I can never put in words
I couldn’t tell you how it feels to be a shadow on your road
But I thought we’d both would say we made it when we’re twenty years old
Now I’m twenty, and I’m feeling left behind
Now I’m twenty, I thought I would be signed
Now I’m twenty, and all that’s on my mind
Eighteen, nineteen, what I’d give to stop the clock at twenty
I’m writing songs from my bed now
And you’re lost in Japan
You’re in the studio with Ed now
I’m making covers for the gram
Now I say I’m fine but that’s a lie
Really I wish I had your life
Now you pull up in a slide-out
And it’s just another night out
After party with the light out
In the morning catch a flight out
Well, maybe that’s you up in the sky
Headed to Paris or Dubai, whoah
I’d love to say congratulations, but the truth is that it hurts
'Cause I just keep choking on eight letters I can never put in words
And I couldn’t tell you how it feels to be a shadow on your road
But I thought we’d both would say we made it when we’re twenty years old
Now I’m twenty, and I’m feeling left behind
Now I’m twenty, I thought I would be signed
Now I’m twenty, and all that’s on my mind
Eighteen, nineteen, what I’d give to stop the clock at twenty
