23 Lyrics

Dear Sid

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

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

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'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?

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

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

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

'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

Till wish you were 23

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
