Somewhere Between Twenty and Thirty

I'm somewhere between twenty and thirty
And I've never felt more lost in the middle before
Not a kid, not an adult
Walk in both worlds, belong to neither
But it's okay...
It's okay because I know now
That I really know nothing
Everything I thought I had figured out
I had figured out wrong.

I'm somewhere between twenty and thirty
Everything that made sense up to now
Doesn't make sense anymore
When did drinking all night stop being cool
When did I stop thinking that love is magically going to happen
When did I start understanding my parents
When did everything go to shit?

I'm somewhere between twenty and thirty
Chances are I can't afford to live the life I want
And I owe more on my student loans than my parents do on their mortgage
If I'm lucky I can make ends meet
Maybe I'll get to work in my actual field at some point
What happened to my happily ever after?

I'm somewhere between twenty and thirty
And what I've figured out
Is that I don't have anything figured out yet
Should I just pack everything up and ove to Nepal
Live on a mountain and commune with nature
What happened to my goal to save the world
When did all these pesky finances interfere?
Where did my idealism go?

I'm somewhere between twenty and thirty
Everyone I graduated with is getting married and popping out kids
And I'm still having really weird dates
And everyone looks at me expectantly about when I'm going to settle down
I'm supposed to settle down and start a family but the thought of children scares me
Because I feel like I'm just a kid myself

I'm somewhere between twenty and thirty
So young and yet so old
So lost and on my way
And I don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been
And I know I can't go back
But it's okay
It's okay...

I'm somewhere between twenty and thirty
And I know I'm not alone
I may be young and single
And in a different city than where I grew up
But I know I'm not alone
And sometimes when you're somewhere
Between twenty and thirty
It's all you can ask for
And it's enough
It's enough... and it's okay.
