14 Today

Fourteen today and you went dancing

Music mixed with laughter and boys can be so immature

They made you drink a bit too much

Everything's a blur to feel and touch

Did he really like you? Well, how can you be sure enough?Twenty-three today and all your friends are gettin' married

You say, they're so scared of bein' alone

So self-righteously you march through teachers' college

Still so much in life you gotta get to know

Seems like everybody's so content to move so slowAnd when you think, you've got your life so well-controlled

It slips away

And the years, like raindrops falling from your life

Are washed away, washed awayAnd you're so brilliant, you're so gifted

So sensitive, so strong

As you hide behind your barricade of words

But no one got close enough to you to have ever heardI met you at a party

You were drunk and full of world advice and I was gettin' nervous

And you said, you had a child who was a genius

Then you smiled as the living room transformed into your circusSomeone whispered you were 39 today, a face so young, eyes so old

You collapsed into the corner, like somebody up on verbs

You near seduced me with your verbs as I reached out for you

You said over and overOh, when you think, you've got your life so well-controlled

It slips away

And the years, like raindrops falling from your life

Are washed away, washed awayAnd you're so brilliant, you're so gifted

So tragic and so wrong

As you hide behind your barricade of words

But you know, no one got close enough to you to have ever heardChildren come home from school

Shout and laugh with all their life

Shut them out fast before you think of the past

Turn out all of your lightsGo to bed, go to sleep, don't think, don't feel

As the nighttime owns a prayer

But maybe somewhere deep inside

There's some meaning, aching to be sharedFourteen today and you were dancing
