Lyrics

At twenty-one you might think You know just what you're after At twenty-two you're not sure By twenty-four your life Is days and nights of tears and laughter Live for the moment, blind to what is in store Come twenty-five you're in love And what more could you ask for? You live that you dreamed You got some cash and some clothes You think you've got it made but, one question - Were your twenties all that they seemed? And what didn't occur to you Are the things that you did not do By twenty-nine it's clear the decade's finish line is looming ahead And this feeling is filling me That the man I'm expected to be Is not the one I am today, is that okay? then BAM! You're thirty! And all at once time's not on your side Thirty The sand is running faster, your life is part disaster You're playing catch up, met your match up Time is getting away No country house with the newest sport's car In the driveway No little cottage in France No big promotion, you're job has flat-lined And, even worse, You've started telling kids to pull up their pants! But what keeps me up at night Is I only just saw the light Half way to sixty, whistlin' dixie Might be time to strap on a pair And, as if that's not bad enough, I got all this expensive stuff Is this the man I want to be then suddenly it's there! Oh, thirty! And all at once time is not my friend Thirty! No time to sit and worry From now I'm in a hurry It's time to act and face the fact That time is getting away Then Alex brings me round And I know - I know, I know we're a choice We made that's built on solid ground So check one off the list As for the rest - oh god! You get the gist! So close to thirty There's so much more I should be by now Thirty! There's much more life left to live And suddenly fucks I should give It's here, no fear, my choice is clear Not letting time get away! Not letting time get away! Not letting time get away! Thirty!? Okay
