Twenty One - The Apartments

I’ve been stuck in the same quicksand since 1999

stuck in the same quicksand

The snow was falling on broadway and I promised you that one day

I’d take you away to New York

Whatever happened to the promise?

Whatever happened to the time?

It ran out

But I thought I’d see you at 21

Bring the baby for it’s due wetting

Look at all that’s been and gone since then

Some are for remembering and some are for forgetting

Either way, it’s gone

Either way, it’s gone.

Take back all the days

The days that I was given

Instead.

I remember all the birthday parties

Children carrying balloons

Streamers tied to a wooden fence

Some of them let go too soon.

Let go — too soon

I carried you on my hip at first

I carried you on my shoulders

Carried you to a long black car

You will never get any older

Any older

Where are the parties that were never held and

Where are the snows that never fell and

Where are the parties that were never held and

Where are the snows that never fell and

Where are the parties that were never held and

Where are the snows that never fell and

Where are the parties that were never held and

Where are the snows that never fell and

Where are the parties that were never held and

Where are the snows that never fell and

And where are you my love?

And where and where and where and where

are the parties that were never held

and where are all the snows that never fell

Where are you my love?

Where you are you?

There’ll be no twenty one

There’ll be no twenty one

There’ll be no parties

No parties

No parties

There’ll be no twenty one
