And you turn 21, 22, 23
You can't possibly know what you want yet
And you turn 24, 25, 26
And you don't dance like you used to

And you and your friends
You're all studying
And you're waiting for
Something to happen
Do you have any idea
Where you stand right now?
You're wasting your youth
Between pubs and shared flats

And you turn 21, 22, 23
You can't possibly know what you want yet
And you turn 24, 25, 26
You don't dance like you used to

And you don't dance like you used to

And sometimes you get melancholic
In the streetlight
On the weekend you go partying
And of course, you get wasted
And you deliberately keep your dreams small
To not be disappointed in the end

And you turn 21, 22, 23
You can't possibly know what you want yet
And you turn 24, 25, 26
You don't dance like you used to

And you don't dance like you used to

And you always say, it's not your fault
And you order another beer
And when I ask you what you want to become
You always just say, "I don't know
Just not mid 30s
Just not mid 30s"

And you turn 21, 22, 23
You can't possibly know what you want yet
And you turn 24, 25, 26
You don't dance like you used to

And you don't dance like you used to
And you turn 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29
