"28" lyrics

Yeah, tell me
Something that'll bring me home
Let me know that I ain't too far gone
You said that you can't have it all
You're just hellbent
On something that you'll never get
Yeah, a feeling that you'll soon regret
Oh, but I can't let it go

Then I see you smiling
And it calms me down
'Cause she don't have that white flag
Hanging from her house

Now I lose my breath when I try to scream
And it's been ten years since I turned eighteen
No, I'm not the man that I thought I'd be by now
Now the car just stalls when the light turns green
It's like all my plans still feel like dreams
I'm not sure what it all quite means right now

Tell me
That I could be forever young
Yeah, the time would never have to come
Remember you can't have it all
You're just hell-bent
On living like you're heaven-sent
Don't want anybody to forget
Oh, but I gotta let it go

And you see me crying
But it's running out
'Cause there's no way to get the bad taste out my mouth
Then I see you smiling
And it calms me down
'Cause she don't have that white flag hanging from her house

Now I lose my breath when I try to scream
And it's been ten years since I turned eighteen
No, I'm not the man that I thought I'd be by now
Now the car just stalls when the light turns green
It's like all my plans still feel like dreams
I'm not sure what it all quite means right now

Yeah, tell me
Something that'll bring me home
Let me know that I ain't too far gone
She said, "But you can't have it all"

I see painted walls when you bring me down
There ain't much going, take me out
And you build me up when it all holds up right now
And I don't know what I do when I talk to myself
'Cause all I've got, put it all on the shelf
[?]

Now I lose my breath when I try to scream
And it's been ten years since I turned eighteen
No, I'm not the man that I said I would be by now
Now the car just stalls when the light turns green
It's like all my plans still feel like dreams
Yeah, I don't know what it all quite means right now
