Twenty Two Lyrics
Bon voyage
Was something that I once said
And eventually regretted
But it's come up again
And I wonder if
The same mistakes I used to make could be remade
Because I've been through this before
I've said that too
There's just so much that we can fake
Before we break ourselves into two
Twenty two
The years can hardly catch up
For the years of playing catch up
Must there always be a catch?
What you really want is just ahead
Just over that hill
The more I learn
The less I try to climb
The more we change
The more we wish
We stay the same
The more we try
To fake ourselves into beliefs
The grass must be green somewhere
Twenty two
The years can hardly catch up
The years of playing catch up
Must there always be a catch?
Was something that I once said
And eventually regretted
But it's come up again
And I wonder if
The same mistakes I used to make could be remade
Because I've been through this before
I've said that too
There's just so much that we can fake
Before we break ourselves into two
The years can hardly catch up
For the years of playing catch up
Must there always be a catch?
Just over that hill
The more I learn
The less I try to climb
The more we change
The more we wish
We stay the same
The more we try
To fake ourselves into beliefs
The grass must be green somewhere
The years can hardly catch up
The years of playing catch up
Must there always be a catch?

i think he's just talking about getting older and even though he's moved on from certain aspects/problems through his life, they have made him bitter and yearnful for for something better, but doubting the existance of there being "green grass" on the other side
"what you really want is just ahead, just over that hill/the more i learn the less i try to climb/the more we change the more we wish we'd stay the same/the more we try to fake ourselves into believing/the grass must be green somewhere!"
how horrible it must be to turn 22 and come to the realization that life is pointless.
