Twenty-Five Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
In pieces in separate rooms, by then I had lost my voice
It was over, I couldn't cope or offer up anymore time
When was the last laugh we had, like when we were twenty-five?
It's over, what I'd hoped for couldn't stand being by my side (Side)

[Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
How could you wanna leave?
Put down, just a memory
Been holding on by a string

[Verse 2: Mike Hranica]
By April, the snow was melting
And I thought you'd give another try
But it was past now, gone for good now
No longer twenty-five, no longer twenty-five

[Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
How could you wanna leave?
Put down, just a mеmory
Been holding on by a string
Who is it this could be
This person in front of me?
Know I triеd everything
But I'm not what you wanted

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Mike Hranica]
I hate to call it all a mistake
Why couldn't it come my way?
Still blaming the same escape, it was fake

[Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
How could you wanna leave?
Put down, just a memory
Been holding on by a string
Who is it this could be
This person in front of me?
Know I tried everything

About

This song bio is unreviewed

‘Twenty-Five’ is the ninth track off of The Devil Wears Prada’s “Color Decay”. The lyrics describe a broken relationship between the bands vocalist and lyricist Mike Hranica and a significant other, Mike also looks back to a time when they had first met and his desire to relive those days.

In an interview with Apple Music, Mike had this to say about the song:

“When I heard the music for this, I felt like it was obvious that it was my kind of breakup song. I had a number of them back on Dead Throne, one of our earlier records. The other guys quite like this one, but it’s a song I never wish to hear again. With a song like ‘Broken,’ there could be some kind of release or getting something off your chest. But for me, there’s never been a song closer to me or harder for me to get through. I hope to god I never have to play it live for an entire tour.”
