Twenty Nine

When I was twenty one
Life was but an open book If I had a chance to be loved, I took Beaten down, I would climb back with just one look When I was unafraid I got caught up in the game you played But you turned on your heel And you walked away And I never got a chance to say I love you, I wanted to But now I’m seeing, its just not you Chorus: You’ll never now what it’s like to love me You’ll never know what it’s like To be loved by me Oh oh, oh oh You’ll never learn what it’s like Oh oh And now I’m twenty nine Promises have come and passed Is love just a game where I didn’t get the winning card? You dealt me your hand But there was a joker in the house of hearts The game is over, the chips are down Chorus And I know that with an end comes a beginning You could feel like hope is lost but you might be winning So keep on giving Don’t stop living ‘Cause the king of hearts He’s got your card in his hand I wanna know what it’s like to love you I wanna know what it’s like To be loved by you Oh oh, oh oh I wanna learn what it’s like Oh oh |
Twenty Nine is in some ways a “coming-of-age” song, but also about realising when you have to let go and believe in yourself enough to move on.
