A song about growing up, with your best days behind you.
lyrics
25, Alive
Well I was 24 and still alone,
But still alive, but who'd had known the story'd ended.
24 and still depressed, inside a hole,
And still a mess - a soul unmended.
My ship has sailed now i'm back at the start,
Still running round in circles,
This train has left and i'm stuck in the past,
Alone more than ever and missing that room with a view.
Well I was 25 and still alive,
Without a pulse, all hope had died.
Resuscitate me.
25, i'd given up and I want out - this world is fucked.
I'd stopped believin'...
My ship has sailed now i'm back at the start,
Still running round in circles,
This train has left and i'm stuck in the past,
Off the rails without a clue.
My feet are blistered, bleeding, falling apart;
From running round in circles,
The map is wrong and the road is too hard.
Alone more than ever and missing that room with a view.
And now;
Everything is backwards, (Going backwards!)
I'm back at the start, still missing a heart my friend.
My ship has sailed now i'm back at the start,
Still running round in circles,
This train has left, now i'm stuck in the past,
Alone more than ever and missing that room with a view...
