[Verse 1] Year one was lots of fun But nothin' lasts forever in my dreams Two, I followed you Because you knew the way or so it seemed At three, I still believed That we would be becoming destiny At 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, a 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 stirred we'd never say Skipped to eight, we called it fate To live to let us die another day At 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, a 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 that 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, a 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
