lyrics

Hangin’ on like the gray beneath a cloud after a storm

Movin’ my pumas faster than I can afford
I’m outta luck, I’m outta time,
I’m outta love, I’m outta somethin’
a-o-a-o

Nothins changed. Since the age of eighteen we’ve been runnin’ loose
Shootin’ at the same dream, we’ve been jumpin’ hoops
I’m only human, not much to me,
Nothin’ super but my pumas
a-o-a-o

Chorus
You’re never gonna be
Twenty-somethin’ again
So while I’m runnin’ free
You’re stuck payin’ your rent
-
Relationship after relationship
Walkin’ the line between commitment and addiction similar to favorite kicks
And it’s a hard sell and hard to tell
what’s real
Yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah

Cos’ it’s a hard sell and hard to tell now,
What’s heartfelt
Right- right- right- right

I never walked the aisle
I didn’t say goodbye
I just hopped on my bike and headed all the way back home
Graduation’s a state of mind
Ya say “next year”, I say tomorrow

Add it up (add it up)
Add it up (add it up)
Add it up (add it up)
Add it up (add it up)
Add it up- Twenty Somethin’ America
Yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah

Now it goes from strugglin’ to get pride
From rushin’ to pick a side
(Appreciated long as you’re affiliated)
When it comes down to pickin’ a fight
They’ll ditch ya quick to dry
(I throw it down without a crew or with a crowd)

I packed a blade just in case, brass knuckles for a ruckus
The city is a jungle and I do not live for nothin’
If ya walk the Northside of Minneapolis
I think ya get my drift and understand where this is headed

There’s no answers, there’s no closure
Not enough resolve to be so sure
That every ghetto has to settle, all attention is acceptance
That the world ain’t spinnin’ off its frickin’ axis into space

I never told ya “hi”, I didn’t say goodbye
I never gave ya anything to think it’s gon’ be alright
It’s a world worth savin’ or a waste of time
Ya say next year, I say right now

Add it up (add it up)
Add it up (add it up)
Add it up (add it up)
Add it up (add it up)
Add it up- Twenty Somethin’ America
Yeah- yeah- yeah- yeah

You’re never gonna be
Twenty-somethin’ again
So while I’m runnin’ free
You’re stuck payin’ the debt

You’re never gonna be
Twenty-somethin’ again
So while I’m runnin’ free
You’re stuck with your girlfriend

You’re never gonna be
Twenty-somethin’ again
So while I’m runnin’ free
You’re stuck payin’ your rent
