"22"

I've seen it all come and go
I've reached the highs and hit the lows
I've felt alive, I've felt alone
And still I'm no closer to home

And now I sit with head in hands
I want to quit, I want to stand
Not quite a boy, not quite a man
Between where I've been and where I am

And this tension's killing me
Cause I'm never who I want to be
Nothing satisfies
So I'll search the past and come up short
Believing there was good before
But not a bright spot in my life

And the stars grow dimmer every day
And the stars grow dimmer every day
Wonder when they'll fade away

I make a mess, I make amends
Make enemies trying to make friends
And I've been learning to pretend
That I'm okay, that I'm okay with it

Do I adapt or stay the same
Follow the path or lead the way
The questions follow me all day
A catch 22, they'd say

And this tension's killing me
Cause I'm never who I want to be
And nothing satisfies

And the stars grow dimmer every day
And the stars grow dimmer every day
Yeah my dreams grow distant every day
Wonder when they'll fade away

Cause it's a night sky
That I'm looking at the light
And it's the wrong way
That I learn to do what's right
And it's a struggle
It'll always be a fight
Between
Between
Between

And the stars grow dimmer
The stars grow dimmer
