I was like you when I was your age
A little self-conscious, a little staged
Wanting the world to know how clever I thought I was
I don't mean to judge or to patronize
God, don't look at me, 'cause I'll never be wise
I fucked the best moments up in my life for the sake of it
You're a walking disaster plain as day to see
But it takes one to know one, I know how you feel
We'll be alright, alright
'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25
I know you're resolved in your being emphatic
I know what you're like 'cause you're very dramatic
But I've heard that there's life after 25
Heaven above and heaven forbid
You don't read the right books and you don't want to live
The way that they say you should in a Sunday supplement
Well everyone's happy and everyone's fine
'Cause everyone's ironic all of the time
Don't you just wish for something real?
You're a walking disaster - come over here, sit down with me
'Cause I know what it's like, I know the way you feel
We'll be alright, alright
'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25
I know you're resolved in your being emphatic
I know what you're like 'cause you're very dramatic
But I've heard that there's life after 25
Why can't we be honest? And can't we just say
Things like "indie: it's all a bit shit, anyway"?
And who really cares 'bout being cool?
You're a walking disaster - come over here, sit down with me
'Cause I know what it's like, I know the way you feel
You're a walking disaster
We'll be alright, alright
'Cause I've heard that there's life after 25
I know you're resolved in your being emphatic
I know what you're like 'cause you're very dramatic
But I've heard that there's life after 25
I've heard that there's life after 25
I've heard that there's life after 25
