Lyrics 22

22 by Taylor Swift is an anthem celebrating the freedom and joy of being twenty-two. Taylor described the song as an anthem for those fun nights out with friends, letting worries slip away. The inspiration came from her own feelings and experiences at that age.

It feels like a perfect night, to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes, uh uh, uh uh
It feels like a perfect night, for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers, uh uh, uh uh
Yeaaaah
We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines
It's time, uh uh

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenty-two
Everything will be alright if, you keep me next to you
You don't know about me, but I bet you want to
Everything will be alright if, we just keep dancing like we're
Twenty-twooooo, twenty-twooooo

It seems like one of those nights
This place is too crowded
Too many cool kids, uh uh, uh uh
It seems like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
And end up dreaming instead of sleeping
Yeaaaah
We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way
It's miserable and magical, oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks
It's time, uh uh

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenty-two
Everything will be alright if, you keep me next to you
You don't know about me, but I bet you want to
Everything will be alright if, we just keep dancing like we're
Twenty-twooooo, twenty-twooooo
I don't know about you, twenty-twooooo, twenty-twoooo

It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news
I gotta have you, I gotta have you
Oh, oh, yeah yeah

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenty-two
Everything will be alright if, you keep me next to you
You don't know about me, but I bet you want to
Everything will be alright if, we just keep dancing like we're
Twenty-twooooo, twenty-twooooo
(Dancing like) twenty-twooooo, yeah, twenty-twooooo, yeah yeah

It feels like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights
You look like bad news
I gotta have you, I gotta have you!
