Barely out of the crib, a young feeling 22
But I feel so much older with all of the feelings I'm going through
The days feel too long and the nights too short
I'm lost I'm falling now more than ever before
Now I won't wish for death
Just a peaceful retirement will do
Free of the struggles of youth
I don't have many dreams that I will see through
Just a peaceful retirement in a house by the sea will do
I may not have high hopes but it's what gets me through
Yes just a peaceful retirement will do
I'm scared to be alone in the dark
With only my intrusive thoughts
They make the life ahead seem so achingly long
For every twinge of fear there's desire for something else
I'm lost I'm falling now more than ever before
Now I won't wish for death
Just a peaceful retirement will do
Free of the struggles of youth
I don't have many dreams that I will see through
Just a peaceful retirement in a house by the sea will do
I may not have high hopes but it's what gets me through
Yes just a peaceful retirement will do
