23 Lyrics by Wilfred

23

2022

[Intro]
Dear Sid

[Verse 1]
You think you made it in the world, now you're 18, you should know
Adults aren't superheroes, they're just kids growing old
Maturity is a choice that not everybody chooses
Dropping out of college doesn't mean that you're a loser

[Pre-Chorus]
You think you'll figure out the world by the time you're 23
Now you're a certified adult that's working 40 hour weeks
So many bills, why does it cost so much to breathe?
You thought it would be easier deciding what to eat

[Chorus]
You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean
I promise you don't wanna be likе the people on TV
And еverything is meant to be, you can't change what people think
Every year goes by a little faster, one day you're 23

[Verse 2]
You'd think that turning 25 is the year you'd make it out
But you're still fighting wars you know nothing about
Where is the truth? Are we ever gonna find it?
Is this game, why does it have to feel so crowded?

[Pre-Chorus]
You think you'll figure out the world, by the time you're 23
Now you're a certified adult that's working 40 hour weeks
So many bills, why does it cost so much to breathe?
You thought it would be easier deciding what to eat

[Chorus]
You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean
I promise you don't wanna be like the models in magazines
And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think
Every year goes by a little faster

[Bridge]
Don't ever lay your head down angry, never slam the doors you close
If someone breaks your heart, there's someone better down the road
We're livin' for the first time, and this is all we know
We're livin' for the first time, it's okay to take it slow

[Chorus]
'Cause you'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean
I promise you don't wanna be like the people on TV
And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think
Every year goes by a little faster, one day you're 23
You'll still fall out of love, and someone's always mean
I promise you don't wanna be like the models in magazines
And everything is meant to be, you can't change what people think
Every year goes by a little faster
'Til you wish you were 23

[Outro]
I still don't know where I'm headed, should I?
I'm still getting older as the days go by
I stay in my head on most days
And I try to forget my own age
Wish I was 23
Sincerely, Wilfred
