"Twenty-Three" lyrics

Was it something you said or was it something you did
It doesn't matter much 'cause I can't leave either way
I'm just a part now and I'm here to stay
But I wouldn't want it any other way

Well, I've been gone now far too long that's why I'm writing you this song
It's been six months to date and it seems an eternity to wait
But it's always hard on the road
I just wanna hear you voice on the phone
I just wanna hear you voice on the phone

I drink so I can retain some form of confidence
But it never really kills the pain it never did
I've gotta face the facts I always want you close to me
Twenty-three

Well, I always used to feel so left out but now my life's all turned around
It's been nine months to date and it seems an eternity to wait
But it's always hard on the road
I just wanna hear you voice on the phone
I just wanna hear you voice on the phone

For the first time, I hope the last to the future
Who cares about the past I fell in love now
And it's nice to know that you're giving your love to me
Twenty-three

I've been gone now far too long that's why I'm writing you this love song
Well, it's been one year to date and it seems an eternity to wait
But soon I'm gonna be back home I just want to have you close to me
Twenty-three
