Lyrics Twenty One - The Apartments

Twenty One

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
