28 would be ideal
But as soon as I hit that I'd like to disappear
28 years isn't enough don't be so cynical
Don't let them hear you boss, 'cause they'll try to steer clear of you
Hatred and love are both sacred enough
No one loves you enough, but no one hates you this much
And mommy's not scared and daddy's not there
And no one's ever home, when you want them there
I just want a hug
And someone to love
And someone to shh when I'm talking too much
No, no, no, no no.
So when 27 comes, I hope I can put up a fight
Hope nothing bothers me, but that could keep me up at night
'Cause I'm still the same kid, that I was at 16
With the same checkered shoes, but a new self-esteem
This year is not as bad as I thought it'd be
Tonight's just another night they'll fill their glasses up
And grab that mason jar the one packed tight with fatty nugs
'Cause we'll wash away another sand castle day
But make no mistake, I still hate my face, and the things that I say
I've got something to blame
'Cause mommy's not scared and daddy's not there
And no one's ever home, when you want them there
I just want a hug
And someone to love
And someone to shh when I'm singing this song
No, no, no, no no
