Nerina Pallot - Life After 25 lyrics

I was like you when I was your age A little self-conscious, a little staged Wanting the world to know how clever I thought I was I don't mean to judge or to patronize God, don't look at me, 'cause I'll never be wise I f**ed the best moments up in my life for the sake of it You're a walking disaster plain as day to see But it takes one to know one, I know how you feel We'll be alright, alright 'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25 I know you're resolved in your being emphatic I know what you're like 'cause you're very dramatic But I've heard that there's life after 25 Heaven above and heaven forbid You don't read the right books and you don't want to live The way that they say you should in a Sunday supplement Well everyone's happy and everyone's fine 'Cause everyone's ironic all of the time Don't you just wish for something real? You're a walking disaster - come over here, sit down with me 'Cause I know what it's like, I know the way you feel We'll be alright, alright 'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25 I know you're resolved in your being emphatic I know what you're like 'cause you're very dramatic But I've heard that there's life after 25 Why can't we be honest? And can't we just say Things like "indie: it's all a bit sh**, anyway"? And who really cares 'bout being cool? You're a walking disaster - come over here, sit down with me 'Cause I know what it's like, I know the way you feel You're a walking disaster We'll be alright, alright 'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25 I know you're resolved in your being emphatic I know what you're like 'cause you're very dramatic But I've heard that there's life after 25 I've heard that there's life after 25 I've heard that there's life after 25
