22

I just saw him when it hit me drinking booze out in the moonlight getting ready for a ride
In the night lights of my city that grew up around the sky
When I saw you with that guy
There was nowhere left to hide in the moonlight of your eyes

But now you're twenty-two, getting ready to move
Getting ready to start thinking what to do, yeah
And now you're twenty-two, getting ready to move
Getting ready to start thinking what to do, yeah

In that flashback to the past when we were alone at last
On that rooftop bar in Venice after my fifth glass
We were talking about the future, how I loved you, how I knew
That you were the one for me, and I was the one for you

We didn't even have a chance to make it work
Chance to make it work, chance to make it work
We didn't even have a chance to make it work
Chance to make it work, chance to make it work

I remember smoking weed in that tipi on a beach
We were rolling in the sheets by the Oregon Sea
You were anxious, I was cold, I remember being told
How you loved me, how you knew that I was the one for you

But now you're twenty-two, getting ready to move
Getting ready to start thinking what to do, yeah
Now you're twenty-two, getting ready to move
Getting ready to start thinking what to do

Twenty-two

It's been three since the fourth when the South became North
I just downed that shot of vodka as I walked up to your door
She was waiting in the car, that's when it fell apart

That's when I broke your heart, that's when I left a scar
But now you're twenty-two, getting ready to move
Getting ready to start thinking what to do, yeah
Now you're twenty-two, getting ready to move

Getting ready to start
Loving someone new

We didn't even have a chance to make it work
Chance to make it work, chance to make it work
We didn't even have a chance to make it work
Chance to make it work, chance to make it work
We didn't even have a chance to make it work
Chance to make it work, chance to make it work

We didn't even have a chance to make it work
Chance to make it work, chance to make it work
We didn't even have a chance to make it work
Chance to make it work, chance to make it work
