Testo Catch 22

He ain't buying her the white brick house with flowers in the front
He ain't going back to see the ring, she says she's loved for months
He calls her honey, but he spends his time and money at the bar
The clock says 3 AM, and she says, "Call me if you can"
Her friends call him Peter and call Broadway Neverland
One day, he'll settle down, she tells herself, "That's just how they are"

Time moves on, for worse or better Forever young, and young forever
Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew
Aren't you tired of chasing someone who's still
Trying to catch twenty-two?

She pays for their apartment till he gets it figured out
And tells herself that it's her earring she found in the couch
If she can't change him, no one can, but, damn, that boy still ain't a man
Oh, it's funny how

Time moves on, for worse or better
Forever young, and young forever
Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew
Aren't you tired of chasing someone who's still
Trying to catch twenty-two? Trying to catch twenty-two

She's crying in the bathroom while he's God knows where right now
He ain't a father figure, but she hopes he'll figure it out

Time moves on, for worse or better
Forever young, and young forever
Growing up is giving up love that you outgrew
Aren't you tired of chasing someone who's still
Trying to catch twenty-two?
