Lyrics The First 21 - Sixx: A.M.

The First 21

Well, the first 21
It’s a criminal ride
Whatever you’ve done
You can get out alive
The first 21
Is it Heaven or Hell?
But who really cares
We were under a spell
The first 21
And those hot summer nights
We were high as the stars
Under big city lights
(When we were young)
But when we were young
We learned how to tell our own lies
Telling ourselves it was paradise
And sometimes we even believed it
When we were young
Was like nothing that we’d ever seen
Pushing ourselves to have bigger dreams
And sometimes we even believed it
When we were young
The first 21
Was a coming of age
We would take on the world
Like we’re turning a page
The first 21
It’s not what you think
Sometimes you fly
But sometimes you sink
(When we were young)
But when we were young
We learned how to tell our own lies
Telling ourselves it was paradise
And sometimes we even believed it
When we were young
Was like nothing that we’d ever seen
Pushing ourselves to have bigger dreams
And sometimes we even believed it
When we were young
But when we were young
We learned how to tell our own lies
Telling ourselves it was paradise
And sometimes we even believed it
When we were young
Was like nothing that we’d ever seen
Pushing ourselves to have bigger dreams
And sometimes we even believed it
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
We were just twenty-one
When we were young
