lyrics

When I was the age of ten
I couldn’t remember when
In high school from the age of eleven
Wishing I was only seven

Now I’m 173
It doesn’t mean a thing to me
173 is just a number

My voice broke when I was twelve
I was beginning to find myself
Becoming active by the age of thirteen
Playing guitar by the age of fourteen

At fifteen I tried religion
I was seeking some advice and wisdom
By sixteen I was out of high school
Went to college and I thought it was so cool

Losing it at seventeen
I think you know what I mean
Eighteen going through the motions
Nineteen with mixed emotions

Signing on at twenty one
Where’s all the magic gone?
Living in a state of confusion
Reality is just an illusion

By the age of twenty four
I was hoping for so much more
I was a nervous wreck by twenty seven
Wish I could back to being eleven
