Twentysomething
Cullum Jamie Lyrics

After years of expensive education
I have spent a considerable amount of time and money on gaining knowledge and skills through formal education.

A car full of books and anticipation
I'm carrying a lot of books which reflect my thirst for knowledge and my excitement for pursuing my future.

I'm an expert on Shakespeare and that's a hell of a lot
I have studied Shakespeare extensively and acquired the expertise in him, but that learning is just a small fraction of the vast world.

But the world don't need scholars as much as I thought
Although being a scholar is great, the world does not rely entirely on them as there are other fields that require exceptional skills.

Maybe I'll go traveling for a year
I may take a break and travel for a year to explore and discover myself, and the many wonders the world has to offer.

Finding myself, or start a career
I'm looking for my true purpose in life, and maybe I'll find it while building up my career.

Could work the poor, though I'm hungry for fame
I have the opportunity to help the less fortunate, but I'm also drawn towards becoming famous.

We all seem so different but we're just the same
Despite our differences, we share common experiences and desires as human beings.

Maybe I'll go to the gym, so I don't get fat
One way to stay healthy and maintain my body is by exercising, and in turn, avoid gaining weight.

Aren't things more easy, with a tight six pack
Having a fit body makes life easier in some ways, as it can boost self-confidence and lead to a healthier lifestyle.

Who knows the answers, who do you trust
It's hard to know who to believe or trust when it comes to finding the solutions to life's questions.

I can't even separate love from lust
I find it challenging to distinguish between genuine love and physical attraction.

Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans
I may opt to return to my hometown and focus on paying off my student loans.

Working nine to five, answering phones
I could work in a traditional office setting, with a job that involves answering calls during regular working hours.

But don't make me live for Friday nights
I don't want to be someone who looks forward to only Fridays or weekends, as life should be enjoyed throughout the week.

Drinking eight pints and getting in fights
Getting drunk and getting in fights is not an ideal way to spend a night or relieve stress.

Maybe I'll just fall in love
Love is a possibility that I might consider to give my life meaning and happiness.

That could solve it all
Finding love is believed by many to be the solution to all of life's problems.

Philosophers say that that's enough
Many philosophers assert that love can be enough to provide meaning to one's life.

There surely must be more
Despite the belief that love is essential, there's a suspicion that there's something else that an individual requires to fulfil themselves.

Love ain't the answer, nor is work
Although love and work are both significant parts of life, they don't guarantee that a person will lead a fulfilling life.

The truth eludes me so much it hurts
I'm still trying to figure out what is genuine and authentic, and the difficulty of it is causing me pain.

But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key
Despite the challenges, I'm still enjoying my life, and that's more critical than anything else.

I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me
I'm confident in being myself and embracing my identity as a young adult.
