Don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up, 22
I know I won't be any different than I was yesterday
But in an instant all my difference will be taken away
Don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up, 22
Yeah, I can see you roll your eyes and say "you're still really young"
But something's different ‘bout this age that they don't tell anyone

Oh 22, I still do what I used to do
Don't you think it's strange that number's just an age but it changes you?
What'd you expect?
This year the magic's gone and I'm all that's left
Yeah, you know it's true, there's nothing new about 22

Don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up, 22
Well I could get my act together but it's still just an act
Would you prefer I act mature? Would that get you off my back?
Don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up, 22
I know it's dumb to get hung up on so don't get me wrong
But I don't feel like I'll be me if I can't be 21

Oh 22, I still do what I used to do
Don't you think it's strange that number's just an age but it changes you?
What'd you expect?
This year the magic's gone and I'm all that's left
Yeah, you know it's true, there's nothing new about 22

When I was younger
Loved every bit of it
No one expected
Anything from a kid
When I was younger, younger, younger
It's just a number, number, number
Wish I was younger, younger, younger
It's just a number, number, number

Oh 22, I still do what I used to do
Don't you think it's strange that number's just an age but it changes you?
What'd you expect?
This year the magic's gone and I'm all that's left
Yeah, you know it's true, there's nothing new about 22

About 22, about 22, about 22
Nothing new 'bout 22
About 22, about 22, about 22
Nothing new 'bout 22
