23 Lyrics by Josh Meloy

Oklahoma

2020

[Verse 1]
I had plans to get through college
Go to work and come home to you
But you changed your whole direction
And now you’ll never say I do
If I could take us back in time
I’d do it all again the same
Wouldn’t change the way we ended
Wouldn’t give you my last name

[Pre-Chorus]
If you ask me how I’m doin’
I’ll say I’m fine on my own
And the time we spent apart
Helped me to grow

[Chorus]
I’m only 23 and I’m livin’ my life like I ought to be
Yeah, the good times lay ahead
Apartment balconies and all them wild ass memories
Yеah, life’s been fair to me
But I’m only, I’m 23

[Verse 2]
Got no skelеtons in my closet
Wear ‘em all on my sleeve
But you had your share of secrets
And that don’t make no sense to me
You can take ‘em all to the grave
‘Cause it don’t matter to me no more
You’re no longer the one I live for
Nor the woman that I adore

[Pre-Chorus]
If you ask me how I’m doin’
I’ll say I’m fine on my own
And the time we spent apart
Helped me to grow

[Chorus]
I’m only 23 and I’m livin’ life like I ought to be
Yeah, the good times lay ahead
Apartment balconies and all them wild ass memories
Yeah, life’s been fair to me
But I’m only, I’m 23

[Chorus]
I’m only 23 and I’m livin’ life like I ought to be
Yeah, the good times lay ahead
Apartment balconies and all them wild ass memories
Yeah, life’s been fair to me
But I’m only, I’m 23
