Twenty Seven Club

I don't wanna sing along and clap in time
It's dangerous
And I might almost fall in line
I can't promise I'll grow old and serve my time
A host to empty walls where no one knows
To hide their shame or pride
All the fingers point to writing on the walls
And I know
I can't be the one you wanted
And I guess I'm sick of seeing all my friends
Be everything your ever after wanted

Every night
I still question my morality
Morning light
Makes me ponder my reality, oh

And you know
I can't hurt the way you want
I can't hurt the way you want me to show
And with all the pressure on
I could join the twenty seven club
Give in to your love and die young

When all the fingers point to empty frames
I'll be the one you ask
I'll be right here and
When the pressure's on I can't find twenty friends
Who's empty shells are cold, unfeeling
All the fingers point to clocks and photographs
All the starry bright examples, married, scheming
And we're still dreaming

And you know
I can't hurt the way you want
I can't hurt the way you want me to show
And with all the pressure on
I could join the twenty seven club
Give in to your love and die young
And you know
I can't hurt the way you want
I can't hurt the way you want me to show
And with all the pressure on
I could join the twenty seven club
Give in to your love and die young

I could give in to your love and die young

I can't promise I'll grow old, and walk with you
I'll go my own way
I don't know if I'll collapse under the pressure
I might give in to combustion
Maybe that way I won't feel anymore

And you know
I can't hurt the way you want
I can't hurt the way you want me to show
And with all the pressure on
I could join the twenty seven club
Give in to your love and die young
And you know
I can't hurt the way you want
I can't hurt the way you want me to show
And with all the pressure on
I could join the twenty seven club
Give in to your love and die young
