out of step with the world

Whatever happened to boys asking to go out on proper dates?
Why is it that we all turn 21 and suddenly only go out to bars?
I don't need to prove to the world how old I am by
Bumming around bars
Heavy with the stench of smoke and liquor
I can think of at least 10 things I would rather do
That would be far less awkward than sitting in a bar
Sipping on a coke that cost significantly less than your cocktail
But still way more than I would like to spend on a beverage consisting mainly of ice

I guess I start getting picky about where guys take me out
Because I fail to recognize that most guys my age do not own a coffee shop
That they can take me to after hours and share French pressed coffee

And that most people my age are consumed by alcohol




Guess some days I am still just bitter old Xtal...
