Lyrics

You couldn't wait to leave your twenties

You were eager to exit your twenties.

Growing up just left you blue

Maturing or growing up left you feeling melancholic or sad.

Twenty-nine it's time for babies

At the age of twenty-nine, it seems like it's time to have children.

Any guy from church will do

There's a readiness to settle down, possibly with someone from the church community.

And honey I would never blame you

The singer empathizes, not blaming you for the decisions you've made.

For the forks you choose

Reiterating the lack of blame for the choices made.

Honey I would never blame you

Reaffirmation of the absence of blame for decisions taken.

Oh it's all you knew

The choices made were based on what you knew or understood at the time.

How long will you run until you come back home?

Questioning how long you'll keep running away before returning home.

How long will you run until you come back home?

Repeating the query about the duration of running away before coming back home.

Tell me were there signs I should've known?

Asking if there were warning signs that were missed or not recognized.

How long will you live until your life's your own?

Questioning when you'll start living life on your own terms.

You couldn't wait to clear your memories

Expressing the hurry to erase or move past memories.

I'm just a fantasy to you

Indicating that to you, the singer is just an idealized, unreal figure.

Nicotine and careless whispers

Mentions addiction (nicotine) and secretive, perhaps reckless, conversations.

Driving fast without a roof

Speeding through life without a care, living impulsively.

And honey I would never change you

Reiterating that the singer accepts you for your rebellious nature.

From your rebel ways

Confirmation of the singer's acceptance of your rebellious behavior.

Honey I would never change you

Expressing a wish for reciprocity in accepting the singer as they are.

I wish you'd say the same

Hoping for mutual acceptance from you as well.

How long will you run until you come back home?

Questioning the duration of your avoidance before returning home (repeated).

How long will you run until you come back home?

Repeating the query about the duration of running away before coming back home (repeated).

Tell me were there signs I should've known?

Asking if there were signals or indications that were missed or overlooked (repeated).

How long will you live until your life's your own?

Questioning when you'll start living life authentically (repeated).
