[Verse 1] Year one was lots of fun But nothin' lasts forever in my dreams And two, I followed you Because you knew the way or so it seemed And three, I still believed That we would be becoming destiny And four, I wanted more But you were movin' on to better things [Chorus] At twenty-five and still alive Much longer than expected for a man At twenty-five, all hope has died And the glass of my intentions turns to sand And shatters in my hand [Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, oh [Verse 2] Five to six, a lie, a kiss The secrets that were served, we'd never say Skip to eight, we called it fate To live, to let us die another day And nine, I saw the signs Reflected in the barrel of a gun Ten, we're here again Those who loved me burned up in the sun [Chorus] At twenty-five and still alive Much longer than expected for a man At twenty-five, all hope has died And the glass of my intentions turns to sand And shatters in my hand Shatters in my hand [Bridge] From eleven, twelve, I held the future in my grasp And all through my teens, I screamed I may not live much past Twenty-one, two, three, four Twenty-one, two, three, four Twenty-one, two, three, four One, two, three, four [Chorus] At twenty-five and still alive Much longer than expected for a man At twenty-five, all hope has died And the glass of my intentions The glass of my intentions The glass of my intentions turns to sand It shatters in my hand [Post-Chorus] Shatters in my hand In my hand
