21

Sometimes, they never come back
Leaving all of your dreams upon the tracks
In a flash, they're all gone
And the curtains all are drawn
And the funny thing is no one stops to ask

How come the stars rise, but the lights don't shine behind those eyes
Like they did when we were young
At the age of twenty-one?
And who says you can't lose when the flames burn down the morning news
And the best you'll ever know
Is a memory on your phone?

Sometimes, they never pull through
Maybe they even fall in front of you
In a flash, it's too late
For the bets you'll never place
And the funny thing is no one stops to ask

How come the stars rise, but the lights don't shine behind those eyes
Like they did when we were young
At the age of twenty-one?
And who says you can't lose when the flames burn down the morning news
And the best you'll ever know
Is a memory on your phone?

Whoa
Whoa, ooh
Ooh
Whoa

How come the stars rise, but the lights don't shine behind those eyes
Like they did when we were young
At the age of twenty-one?
And who says you can't lose when the flames burn down the morning news
And the best you'll ever know
Is a memory on your phone?
