He ain´t buying her the white brick house with flowers in the front He ain´t going back to see the ring she says she´s loved for months He calls her honey, but he spends his time and money at the bar
The clock says 3 a.m. and she says, "Call me if you can" Her friends call him Peter and call Broadway Neverland One day, he´ll settle down, she tells herself, "That´s just how they are"
Time moves on for worse or better Forever young and young forever Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew Aren´t you tired of chasing someone who´s still Trying to catch twenty-two? She pays for their apartment ´til he gets it figured out And tells herself that it´s her earring that she found in the couch If she can´t change him, no one can, but damn, that boy still ain´t a man
Oh, it´s funny how
Time moves on for worse or better Forever young and young forever Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew Aren´t you tired of chasing someone who´s still Trying to catch twenty-two?
Trying to catch twenty-two
She´s crying in the bathroom while he´s God knows where now He ain´t a father figure, but she hopes he´ll figure it out
Time moves on for worse or better Forever young and young forever Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew
Aren´t you tired of chasing someone who´s still Trying to catch twenty-two?
