Twenty-Three

Lyrics

[Intro] Was it something you said or was it something you did? It doesn't matter, 'cause I can't leave either way I'm just a part now and I'm here to stay And I wouldn't want it any other way [Verse 1] Well, I've been gone now far too long That's why I'm writing you this song It's been six months to date And it seems an eternity to wait But it's always hard on the road I just wanna hear your voice on the phone I just wanna hear your voice on the phone [Chorus] I drink so I can retain some form of confidence It never really kills the pain, it never did I've gotta face the facts, I always want you close to me Twenty-three [Verse 2] I always used to feel so left out But now my life's all turned around It's been nine months to date And it seems an eternity to wait But it's always hard on the road I just wanna hear your voice on the phone I just wanna hear your voice on the phone [Chorus] Was it something you said or was it something you did? It doesn't matter, 'cause I can't leave either way I'm just a part now and I'm here to stay 'Cause you're giving your love to me Twenty-three [Outro] I've been gone now far too long That's why I'm writing you this song It's been one year to date And it seems an eternity to wait But soon I'm gonna be back home I just want to have you close to me Twenty-three I just want to have you close to me Twenty-three I just want to have you close to me Twenty-three I just want to have you close to me Twenty-three
