21 Lyrics by Arlow, Shiah Maisel

2021

[Verse 1]
Oh, you'd tell me stories
You'd tuck me in
And the second you'd leave, I'd call you right back
To check for monsters in my sheets
Yeah, high school was hard
You'd fight with my mom
I'd fall asleep to the screaming
Sound machine always peaking
Left emotional scars

[Chorus]
Now I'm twenty-one (twenty-one)
A soul of fifty years (a soul of fifty years)
And now that you are gone
I'm doing things that I shouldn't know from
I'm doing things that I shouldn't do
At twenty-one
A soul of fifty years (a soul of fifty years)
And now that you are gone
I'm doing things that I shouldn't know from
I'm doing things that I shouldn't do
At twenty-one

[Drop]
At twenty-one
I'm doing things that I shouldn't do
At twenty-one
I'm just a kid
Oh, I'm doing things that I shouldn't know from
Yeah, doing things that I shouldn't do
At twenty-one

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'd play you my favorite songs on our car rides
While you'd list me all the people that left you in you're life
Oh-oh
Oh-ohhh
And you'd smoke on your chair while I was trying to sleep
I'd smell the smoke in the air, but that was normal for me
I didn't know
I didn't know

[Chorus]
But now I'm twenty-one
A soul of fifty years
And now that you are gone
I'm doing things that I shouldn't know from
I'm doing things that I shouldn't do
At twenty-one
Feels like I'm fifty years (a soul of fifty years)
And now that you are gone
I'm doing things that I shouldn't know from
I'm doing things that I shouldn't do
At twenty-one

[Drop]
Oh-ohh-oh
I'm twenty-one
Yeah-yeah
I'm twenty-one
Oh, I'm just a kid
Oh, I'm doing things that I shouldn't know from
Doing things that I shouldn't do
At twenty-one

[Outro]
At twenty-one
At twenty-one
Woah
I'm twenty-one
