things will be great (they already are)

so today i turned 28. i don't feel 28. when people ask my age i always have to stop myself and think about it, i want to say "23" because i don't feel like time has really passed that quickly. i heard this song in the credits of the drew barrymore/ellen paige film "whip it" and there are elements that are really appropriate (especially the part about last year's clothes not fitting haha) i thought i'd make it my birthday post:

here it comes.
guess for years i have tried to calm
what's inside me but something's wrong.
i don't know what to say
to give me away.

and there's the first mistake
i tried not to make.
next time i'm around that's a habit to break
when i turn 28.
things are gonna be great at 28.

they said that i would get used to the change
but i can't keep my eyes on the page.
shouldn't be writing these songs at my age.
the candle's lit
waiting patient for me to sit,
but none of last year's clothes still fit,
and i keep waiting for you to enter the room.
i made my wish let me give it to you
when i turn 28.
things are gonna be great at 28.

at 28, tell everyone they'll just have to wait
when i turn 29.
things are gonna be fine at 29.
