20 Something Lyrics by SZA

Ctrl (Deluxe)

2017

[Verse 1]
How you ain't say you was movin' forward?
Honesty hurts when you're gettin' older
I gotta say, I'll miss the way you need me, yeah
Why you ain't say you was gettin' bored?
Why you ain't say I was fallin' short?
How you lead me out so far away?

[Pre-Chorus]
How could it be? Twenty-something
All alone, still not a thing in my name
Ain't got nothin', runnin' from love, only know fear
That's me, Ms. Twenty-Something
Ain't got nothin', runnin' from love
Wish you were here, oh

[Chorus]
Stuck in them twenty-somethings, stuck in them twenty-somethings
Good luck on them twenty-somethings, good luck on them twenty-somethings
But God bless these twenty-somethings
(God bless, oh, God bless, oh, God bless, oh, God bless, oh)
Hopin' my twenty-somethings won't end
Hopin' to keep the rest of my friends
Prayin' the twenty-somethings don't kill me, don't kill me

[Verse 2]
Weird
Took us so long to separate
I feel, it's permanent like a riptide, this time
Waves crashing fast, I try
Think of the past, please stay
(How could it be?)

[Pre-Chorus]
How could it be? Twenty-something
All alone still, not a phone in my name (Name)
Ain't got nothin', runnin' from love, only know fear
That's me, Ms. Twenty-Something
Ain't got nothin', runnin' from love
Wish you were here, oh

[Chorus]
Stuck in them twenty-somethings, stuck in them twenty-somethings
Good luck on them twenty-somethings, good luck on them twenty-somethings
But God bless these twenty-somethings
(God bless, oh, God bless, oh, God bless, oh, God bless, oh)
Hopin' my twenty-somethings won't end
Hopin' to keep the rest of my friends
Prayin' the twenty-somethings don't kill me, don't kill me

[Post-Chorus]
(God bless, oh, God bless, oh, God bless, oh, God bless, oh)
(God bless, oh, God bless, oh, God bless, oh, God bless, oh)
(God bless, oh, God bless, oh, God bless, oh, God bless, oh)

[Outro: Mommy & SZA]
And if it's an illusion, I don't want to wake up. I'm gonna hang on to it. Because the, the, the alternative is an abyss, it's just a hole, a darkness, a nothingness. Who wants that? You know? So that's what I think about control. And that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it
That was beautiful, mommy, that was perfect
