24

Well, what do you know?

Suddenly, you're older now

They call you a grown up, with the dog and the bills and the garden

And the picturesque house

And the pear tree

Is budding up a third year

And if your mother were still here, the fallen blossoms on the lawn

Would all disappear

And you're in love

You pray to God it's forever

But you look around

Think, "Why try altogether?"

But he's endless and on my skin like

Sand on the shore

And that's enough for me right now anyway

At 24

You travel the world

Swim under a waterfall

You have everything you ever wanted

You wonder when your dad will call

Then you're in New York again with your oldest friend

And the basket of bread's still warm

And that's enough for me right now anyway

At 24

Oh

I know more than I ever have

And yet, I know nothing (nothing)

At all

I'm a floating feather

I'm a constant cannonball (cannonball)

I'm somebody's baby

Someone else's midnight call (midnight call)

I know more than I ever have

And yet, nothing at all

Well, what do you know?

Suddenly you're 24
