DAN HILL - 14 TODAY Lyrics

14 today and you went dancingMusic mixed with laughterAnd boys can be so insecureThey made you drink a bit too muchEverything's a blur of feel and touchDid he really like youHow can you be sure enough23 today and all your friends are getting marriedYou say they're so scared of being aloneSo self righteously you march though teachers collegeStill so much in life you gotta get to knowSeems like everybody's so content to move so slow And when you think you've got your life so well controlledIt slips awayAnd the years like raindrops falling from your life areWashed awayYou're so brilliant, you're so gifted, so sensitive, so strongAs you hide behind your barricade of wordsBut no one got close enough to you to have ever heard I met you at a party you were drunk and full of world adviceAnd I was getting nervousYou said you had a child who was a genius and you smiledAs the living room transformed into your circusSomeone whispered you were 39 today a face so youEyes so oldYou collapsed into the cornerLike somebody of raw nerves you near seduced meWith your verbsAs I reached out for youYou said over and over Children come home from schoolShout and laugh with all their lifeshut em out fast before you think of the pastTurn out all your lightsGo to bed got to sleep don't think don't feelAs the night time moans a prayerThat maybe somewhere deep insideThere's some meaning aching to be shared
