23 Lyrics by Overcoats

Young (Deluxe)

2017

[Verse 1]
Honey, you're a full-time job
And I'm tired of rescuing you
Need you to be strong
No I can't be the only one lovin' you
He won't look at himself
In the mornin', in the mirror as he brushes his teeth
No he won't look at me anymore
'Cause he knows who I expect him to be

[Chorus]
Forever's a long time when it doesn't feel right
And bein' his wife's like one long sleepless night
I'm exactly where I said I would be
With my man before 23
And the only truth that I, I can see
Is he's the only one who knows how to love me
He's the only one

[Verse 2]
Well, honey would you look what we've done?
Dug our graves before we had any fun
Back and forth we fight
What difference does it make who's right?
This is how we spend our days
Lookin' for the love we misplaced
Lookin' at the choices we made
And how with time they become our chains

[Chorus]
Forever's a long time when it doesn't feel right
And bein' his wife's like one long sleepless night
I'm exactly where I said I would be
With my man before 23
And the only truth that I, I can see
Is he's the only one who knows how to love me
He's the only one
