31 was first released on Youtube, on October 24th, 2018. It was officially released on June 5th, 2020, before the album release.
It’s a song about one’s mistakes, a recurrent subject on Ciaran Lavery’s songs.
He commented:
‘31’ is proof that wisdom does not come with age"
I'm not the one that you been waiting on
I'm not unique in a single way
I'll let you down, I'll mess you around
Got a wandering eye and I don't trust myself
Go tell the God that you been praying on
Or to the friend who's listening in vain
This is just a phase, I'm just a phase
A memory, one day, that'll leave you
Feel nothing at all, most of the time
You ask me to see, but I don't wanna try
At 31 I still make the same mistakes as when I was young
At 31 I still make the same mistakes as when I was young
Maybe I've hurt you, maybe made you cry
Left you alone, without explaining my ways
How can I explain the ways in which I changed
I've been wounded and afraid before this
So please don't say you understand me now
It's just a lie, 'cause I don't understand
All I know is true, I used to be good
Now I'm just some fool, so see this
My God I'm a liar, most of the time
You ask me to speak, but darling I'm too tired
At 31 I still make the same mistakes as when I was young
At 31 I still make the same mistakes as when I was young
31 was written by Kris Platt & Daniel Morgan Ball & Ciaran Lavery.
