Lyrics
People ask who's your first kiss
Reflecting on inquiries about her first kiss
I said boy oh boy what did I miss
Expressing a feeling of missing out
People ask do you have a man
Being asked about having a partner
I lie and say yea, that's the plan
Choosing to lie about having a relationship
But now I hear myself (hear myself)
Hearing her own desires
I want something else (she wants something else)
Expressing a yearning for something different
People ask what's your favorite drink
Asked about favorite drink
Apple juice has been my thing
Preference for apple juice
People ask why not go outside?
Justifying staying indoors due to work
Too much work why even try?
Questioning the point of going outside
But now I hear myself (she hears herself now)
Acknowledging her own desires again
I want something else
Reiterating the longing for something different
I'm living my teens in my twenties
Living a youthful experience in her twenties
Finding playgrounds in Clementi
Finding enjoyment in simple things
Instead of finding boys that aren't a plenty
Not focusing on relationships or dating
Paint the town green instead of red
Choosing a carefree lifestyle
And dance until I'm dead
Expressing a desire to enjoy life through dancing
Hair dye pink and then it's blue
Experimenting with hair colors
Peeps say heck you're twenty? Twenty two?
Surprise at being in the twenties
Teens In My Twenties (ah let's go ah let's go)
Reiteration of the youthful experience
Teens In My Twenties (what are you waiting for?)
-Teens In My Twenties (ah let's go ah let's go)
-Teens In My Twenties
-(we haven't got all day you know)
Urging to seize the moment
They say you're mature
Contrasting maturity with the desire to enjoy life
But they mean you're well behaved
-But now I'm not so sure
-Cause I just want to rave
-They say you're mature
-But they mean you're well behaved
-But now I'm not so sure
-Cause I just want to rave
-I'm living my teens in my twenties
Repetition of embracing youthfulness
Finding playgrounds in Clementi
-Instead of finding boys that aren't a plenty
-Paint the town green instead of red
-And dance until I'm dead
-Hair dye pink and then it's blue
-Peeps say heck you're twenty? Twenty two?
-I wanna play in the rain (ah let's go ah let's go)
Expressing a desire for freedom and spontaneity
And wash away my pain (what are you waiting for?)
-Get soaked like a joke (ah let's go ah let's go)
-And then get mad at all my folks
-Paint the town green instead of red
-And dance until I'm dead
-Got no timeline to stick to
-Yeah, I'm in my twenties
-What about you?
Posing the question back to the listener
