Twentysomething

"Twentysomething" After years of expensive education A car full of books and anticipation I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought Maybe I'll go traveling for a year Finding myself, or start a career Could work the poor, though I'm hungry for fame We all seem so different but we're just the same Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat Aren't things more easy, with a tight six pack Who knows the answers, who do you trust I can't even separate love from lust Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans Working nine to five, answering phones But don't make me live for Friday nights Drinking eight pints and getting in fights Maybe I'll just fall in love That could solve it all Philosophers say that that's enough There surely must be more Love ain't the answer, nor is work The truth eludes me so much it hurts But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me

"Suddenly I See"

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
