27

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm not seventeen And going on nowhere fast A decade lost in the East Bay fog Birthday cards thrown in the trash Last year's calendar On the wall, collecting dust My friends, they say to tear it down But instead I'll leave it up [Chorus 1] And now I'm twenty-seven Driving to the 7-Eleven Well, when I'm twenty-eight Will I end up losing faith? [Verse 2] Promises decayed On expiration dates New Year's resolutions sold To the bums out on the street What was it all worth? And was it worth the while? Lost and found and ten years down And torched it to the ground [Chorus 2] Oh, will I stand in line When I turn twenty-nine? So now I'll take a number And it reads twenty-seven
