No Age
rich people Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I felt the whisper of a thrill
Met by the space left by the void still left unfilled
Self-will pressed like blue chalk on the walls of a twenty dollar bill

And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
(No age too soon, to a longer year)
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
(Slow days hold youth)
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here

I felt the whisper of the night
Lip-locked on all the glass pipes that have altered my life
Like quiet screams and I was all mine

And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
(No age too soon, to a longer year)
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
(Slow days hold youth)
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here

Ty reminds me of what it all once was
I'll stand still so it can be safe here for us

And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here

And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
(No age too soon, to a longer year)
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
(Slow days hold youth)
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here

I felt the whisper of a thrill




Met by the space left by the void still left unfilled
And my self-will pressed like blue chalk on the walls of a twenty dollar bill
