I can still feel my hand tucked in my North Face fleece
Wrapped 'round 100 gigs of belonging and belief
I guess a part of us stays in those first defeats
When bitter tasted sweet
Now I still listen to that Death Cab record every day
"Hey Siri, turn on Plans"
"Ha! What a throwback," you say
I guess nostalgia's all the feels without the present strain
We love familiar pain
It doesn't feel like I'm ten years away from 17
Wasn't it just yesterday you said to me
That the life I'm living now is right in front of me?
But here I am feeling 27teen
I still live inside the stories I first found myself in
The more I hear their words
The more they're inked in my skin
I guess we glimpse eternity when we begin at the end
But closure's a fickle friend
It doesn't feel like I'm ten years away from 17
Wasn't it just yesterday you said to me
That the life I'm living now is right in front of me?
But here I am feeling 27
It doesn't feel like I'm ten years away from in between
Innocence and the antithesis you believe sets you free
'Cause the life I'm living now is right in front of me
And here I am feeling 27teen
Where will you go, my glow and shadow?
Will you send me out but still lead me home?
Where will you go, my glow and shadow?
Will you send me out but still lead me home?
Where will you go, my glow and shadow?
Will you send me out but still lead me home?
Where will you go, my glow and shadow?
Will you send me out but still lead me home?
It doesn't feel like I'm ten years away from 17
Wasn't it just yesterday you said to me
That the life I'm living now is right in front of me?
But here I am feeling 27teen
