When she was 22 the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
She's got an alright job but it's not a career
Whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears
'Cause all she wants is a boyfriend, she gets one night stands
She's thinking how did I get here, I'm doing all that I can
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
'Til the man of her dreams comes along
Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

This song actually talks about how society says your life is practically over at 30 years old, no matter what you do or how you act. Lily just chose the bad part of life.

when u were 22, u have to enjoy this life before it's going to 30 is it the mean of this song??
WhyDoYouLikeThatSong
No, actually the opposite. The song says at the beginning that at 22 "the future looked bright" and so this girl parties everyday and now she's almost 30 and has got only a unsteady "job" and one night stands instead of a career and a family or good boyfriend. Lily thinks it's true that society tells you your life is over is you're not successful (lifewise) by 30. No more aspirations or things left to do except wait for the right guy, but "in this day and age" "it seems so unlikely". I personality don't completely agree with her. Your future isn't always dead when you mess up in the crucial parts of your life (your youth), but it all depends on how much you messed up. No education, personality, morals, career/opportunities, No future.
