14 Today Lyrics - Singles - Dan Hill

14 today and you went dancing 

Music mixed with laughter 

And boys can be so insecure 

They made you drink a bit too much 

Everything's a blur of feel and touch 

Did he really like you 

How can you be sure enough 

23 today and all your friends are getting married 

You say they're so scared of being alone 

So self righteously you march though teachers college 

Still so much in life you gotta get to know 

Seems like everybody's so content to move so slow 

And 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 

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 heard 

I met you at a party you were drunk and full of world advice 

And I was getting nervous 

You said you had a child who was a genius and you smiled 

As the living room transformed into your circus 

Someone whispered you were 39 today a face so you 

Eyes so old 

You collapsed into the corner 

Like somebody of raw nerves you near seduced me 

With your verbs 

As I reached out for you 

You said over and over
