Tired & 23 Lyrics

Been pulling all my time

Through tainted air and petty crimes

I can't up and leave today

Oh, no I know you're too kind

To point the blame

Pressing all these things

Through empty cans and broken dreams

So just turn the other way, Oh Oh

Oh I wish I could know the things

That blow your mind away

You can't take me home

Cuz it's gone, cuz it's gone

Cuz it always seems to go this way

How it shakes out now

Lord can't you give an easy one for me

I'm tired and now I'm 23

So my days of catching up on sleep all

Feel so far behind me

But it's fine cuz I don't mind it

Anyhow

But I'm just stuck while nothing stops

Time, she slips away

But I wish she'd stay

And let me think things out for a while

Run, run, run, run, run, put it off

Cuz I'll figure it out another time

You won't catch me if I just go

But it's too bad you move too fast

And I still smoke

So I'll show you all the ways

To hide behind a smile, baby

Cuz I got laughs to last

A slow walked country mile

But maybe I'm too hazy

To find the clarity I need but that's alright

That's for another place on made-up time

Cuz you can't take me home

Cuz it's gone, cuz it's gone

Cuz it always seems to go this way

How it shakes out now

Lord can't you give an easy one for me

I'm tired and now I'm 23

So my days of catching up on sleep all

Feel so far behind me

But it's fine cuz I don't mind it

Anyhow

But I'm just stuck while nothing stops

Time, she slips away

But I wish she'd stay

And let me think things out for a while
