"29" lyrics

Maybe it was seein' my face on a billboard
On Sunset Boulevard
Maybe it was two nights sold out in London
Maybe it was twenty-five pounds ago
Before my whole world fell apart
Maybe it was right before my accident

Said my life was as good as it's gonna get
And there's no goin' back

What if the best I've got is already three years gone?
What if I miss the view from the mountaintop?
What if it all flew by, and I never even realized
That I've already lived the best days of my life?
At twenty-nine

I know that I shouldn't be thinkin' like this
I'm still plenty young
But lately it feels like my clock is ticking away
I'm never gonna get the chance to be the person that I wanna be
Be the mother of a family without givin' up everything
I've worked so hard for all these years
What if I'm just watchin' it slowly disappear?

What if the best I've got is already three years gone?
What if I miss the view from the mountaintop?
What if it all flew by, and I never even realized
That I've already lived the best days of my life?
At twenty-nine
Twenty-nine, oh-oh-oh

What if I spend my whole life chasin' a moment that I'm
Never gonna get back, like a junkie for some cheap attention?
What if it all goes downhill and I never wanna sit still?
What if I'm wastin' time lookin' for a better version of myself?
What if she's way in the past now?
What the hell do I do now, now?

What if the best I've got is already three years gone?
What if I miss the view from the mountaintop?
