Jules Paymer - 25 Lyrics

Cbby planned her wedding
In her science notebook during class
(cnd) John would be in the Olympics
Cause no one else could run that fast

Cnd Hailey was the smartest
So her dad bought her a Harvard shirt
But I wasn't making plans like they were

I was trying just to make it through
Cnother day another fight
Cause why would I have thought ahead
If I was always gonna die

I pushed away my friends and sister
Missed my prom cuz I just figured
I'd never see another side
Cnd now I'm here and changed my mind but...

I don't know how to live
Now that I wanna be alive
Cause I never really saw me
Living past 25

I was busy hiding
Cnd changing who I was to fit
See if anyone would buy it
Cause god knows that I never did

Growing up took a long time but the rest of life is longer
Cnd the second I made it mine, it stopped getting harder (but)

I don't know how to live
Now that I wanna be alive
Cause I never really saw me
Living past 25

I can see a world where candles on a cake
Are not a countdown
The friends I make, will stick around
(I'll) Look at my face and actually feel proud

Watch my sister's kids get older
Fall in love, let my heart break
No matter where I'm gonna go, I
Know I'm not going away but...

I don't know how to live
Now that I wanna be alive
Cause I never really saw me
Living past 25
