27 & Broke - cassettes

I was just 16 with the dream of a girl riding shotgun, went ahead and got one

We kissed in the dark back row of the movie theater, Crouching Tiger Hidden

Dragon, but I had already seen it

So, it didn’t matter to me

I drove you home, all alone, and we made out on your street

Just a girl and a boy desperately

Trying to grab a cinematic end to our evening

Skip to just 18 at home on the phone with the girl that I mentioned before («Hello»)

Hey, I didn’t want to call but I’m heading off to school next fall

Think it’d be best if we were closing the door («What?»)

On this relationship, you can hate me now but you will thank me, kid

When you’re married growing out dreads and I’m slowly losing my head, I’m

27 and broke

And after school I moved back home

I got my college degree in music history and I’ve never been more cold and alone

But what do I know?

I was just 20, a new honey taking up my mind, how can I make her mine now?

She invited me to flirt at the video store where she worked, I was surprised

but happy to oblige

'Cause she was so pretty and sweet

And even now she’s «wow» like Kapowski

But I was just young, dumb, coming on too strong

Sorry about the roses, sorry about the songs

I was just 21, new lush with a crush and I thought that I’d fallen in love

Hey, maybe I was right 'cause I still remember that fall night watching The

Muppets, waking up in your arms

Fast forward past 26, I must apologize for the resentment

'Cause you’re still a beautiful soul and I’m simply losing control, I’m

27 and broke

And after school I moved back home

I got my college degree in music history and I’ve never been more cold and alone

But what do I know?

You’re 25 but still act 17

(Grow up or give in girl, you’re wasting with the world)

You are my age and you’re getting married

To a boy we both know don’t deserve you and I

27 and broke

And after school I moved back home

I got my college degree in music history and I’ve never been more cold and alone

But what do I know?

27 and broke (Hey, hey)

27 and broke, whoa

27 and broke, and I hope I’m approaching the depths of this hole

But what do I know?
