“20 Something” is the seventh track from Alexander 23’s debut EP, I’m Sorry I Love You. Unlike the majority of the EP, this track was released alongside the EP release rather than previously being released as a single.
[Verse 1]
I'm twenty-something going on twenty-something else
And I'm years beyond my wise, I'm falling apart
Welcome to my head, I reside here by myself
I take what keeps me up at night and sell it as art
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell my parents when they call
That there ain't nothing wrong at all
But they can see my nose grow longer through the phone
[Chorus]
I just found out that the world goes on without me
I slow down, yeah, but it's still too fast
And I can only run until I'm out of breath
I just found out that the world goes on without me
I slow down, yeah, but it's still too fast
And I can only run until I'm out of breath
(I can only run until I'm out of breath)
[Verse 2]
I met someone who loves me like I never could
And so I hold her heart when my head gets in the way
We live in shambles like a twenty-something should
And, yeah, it rains a lot, but the rainbows make it worth it
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell my parents when they call
That there ain't nothing wrong at all
But they can see my nose grow longer through the phone
[Chorus]
I just found out that the world goes on without me
I slow down, yeah, but it's still too fast
And I can only run until I'm out of breath
I just found out that the world goes on without me
I slow down, yeah, but it's still too fast
And I can only run until I'm out of breath
(I can only run until I'm out of breath)
[Outro]
I'm twenty-something going on twenty-something else
And I'm years beyond my wise, I'm falling apart
