Life - It's All About The Lyric

So I have entered the last week of my 20's. As of Friday, December 23rd, I will be the big 3-0. I'm not too scared or worried about it. I count myself amoung the young at heart.

I was thinking about my last decade and the things I might miss. I'm a big lyrics guy when it comes to modern music. Throughout my 20's I had songs that reminded me of my age through their words. Here are a few that I will miss:

Age Song Lyric
22Leaves That Are Green, Simon And GarfunkelI was 21 years when I wrote this song
I'm 22 now but I won't be for long
Time hurries on.
23What's My Age Again?, Blink-182And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And you still act like you're in Freshman year
What the f*ck is wrong with me?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
24Preaching The End Of The World, Chris CornellHello, I know there’s someone out there
Who can understand
And who’s feeling the same way as me
I’m 24 and I’ve got everything to live for
But I know now that it wasn’t meant to be
’cause all has been lost and all has been won
And there’s nothing left for us to save
But now I know that I don’t want to be alone today
25Fly, Sugar RayAll around the world, statues crumble for me
Who knows how long I've loved you
Everyone I know has been so good to me
25 years old, my mother God rest her soul
27Rocky Mountain High, John DenverHe was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door

I will continue to listen to those songs, of course, but it was always neat to hear them at that particular age. The front runner for age 30 is My Next Thirty Years by Tim McGraw. Not a huge fan.

I'll find something, or write something (even better!)
