21 by The Marvelous Outsiders Lyrics
(Intro)
(Verse 1)
I've got big dreams for such a humble beginning
And that's big talk before sipping a Guinness
Legally that is, and I'm not trying to incrim-
Inate myself, but well, we've all been teenagers
Here, I swear, I was just a little different
A little kid, stuck in a big city
Just kidding, no but really
Stuck in suburbia, right outside new orleans
Right around where and when the storm hit
All this meant, things are different
When we moved I moped about losing all my friends
Like really wheres the blessing in this
Little did I know I would grow to resent
Change even though its the change that presented
The perfect storm to create who I am today
The music, the movement, the moments I replay
(Hook)
In my mind, I see
Everything thats me
Except what you see
And that means a lot to me
So tell me, tell me
Why I’m here God
Tell me, tell me
In my 21 years have I…
(Verse 2)
Made a change in someone else’s life
Did it make it better? did it cease the weather?
Raining on them, did I make them smile?
Is there a net neutral good because I’m here for a while?
Will I live to see 80, 50, at least 35?
All I want is a good job, happy wife
Free time to make music, and the chance to inspire
Being a rockstar ain't for me
Gratefully, I’ve got my backbone in my family
So if you stand with me, we’re standing strong
Long and hard, forever plus 1, a mile and a yard
See I’ve got a lot of people that have come my way
A lot of left, it's the ones that stayed that made
The perfect storm to create who I am today
Its your faces I replay
(Hook)
In my mind, I see
Everything thats me
Except what you see
And that means a lot to me
So tell me, tell me
Why I’m here God
Tell me, tell me
In my 21 years have I…
(Bridge)
Loved, you
If you let me
Would you love me
If you could
If you could
(Alt Hook)
In my mind, I see
Everything thats me
Except what you see
And that means a lot to me
So tell me, tell me
Why I’m here God
So tell me, tell me
In my 21 years
(Hook)
In my mind, I see
Everything thats me
Except what you see
And that means a lot to me
So tell me, tell me
Why I’m here God
So tell me, tell me
In my 21 years
In my mind, I see
Everything thats me
Except what you see
And that means a lot to me
So tell me, tell me
Why I’m here God
So tell me, tell me
In my 21 years have I…
