the quintessential twenty something - the black & white years lyrics

Loading...

i can see her eyes were frantic
as they neared to mine
i thought “oh my god”
i thought “maybe i’m in danger”

fond as i’d become of her
i wasn’t in the dark about her temper (oh oh oh oh)
or her past

blessed were the days
when we were simply inattentive
now we balk like gods
and the reason became anger

normal as it’s gotten
turning caution into art
i think it never will last

you were the madness necessary for me to write
i was the quintessential twenty something getting high
you were the bit of life i need to forget i’m alive
i spent so many evenings k!lling time

(ooo-oo-ooh)

i was the quintessential twenty something getting high

(ooo-oo-ooh)

i was the quintessential twenty something getting by

i remember watching her
before we ever met
no, not like that
not like through her bedroom window

watching her put up her hair
so deftly with a pen
it gave me chills

later, after dating
i’d sedated that initial thrill
quick replaced by my mistakes
her innuendo

steady conversation
turning lovely into wicked
went stale

you were the madness necessary for me to write
i was the quintessential twenty something getting high
you were the bit of life i need to forget i’m alive
i spent so many evenings k!lling time

you were the madness necessary for me to write
i was the quintessential twenty something staying high
you were the bit of life i need to forget i’m alive
i spent so many evenings k!lling time

- the black white years lyrics
