24 Lyrics – Niki
24 Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Niki]
What do you know?
Suddenly, you're older now
They call you a grown up
With the dog and the bills
And the garden and the picturesque house
And the pear tree is budding up a third year
And if your mother were still here
The fallen blossoms on the lawn would all disappear
And you're in love, you pray to God it's forever
But you look around, and think, "Why try altogether?"
But he's endless, and on my skin like sand on the shore
[Chorus: Niki]
And that's enough for me right now
Anyway, at twenty-four
[Verse 2: Niki]
You travel the world, swim under a watеrfall
You have everything you еver wanted
You wonder when your dad will call
And you're in New York again
With your oldest friend
And the basket of bread's still warm
[Chorus: Niki]
And that's enough for me right now
Anyway, at twenty-four
[Bridge: Niki]
Oh, I know more than I ever have
And yet I know nothing at all
I'm a floating feather
I'm a constant cannonball (Cannonball)
I'm somebody's baby
Someone else's midnight call (Midnight call)
I know more than I ever have
And yet nothing at all
[Outro: Niki]
What do you know?
Suddenly, you're twenty-four
