23

It's taken 23 years to realize

We don't know what's coming next

There's foolish dreams and impractical fears

Between everything and nothing left

It's taken 23 weeks of traveling free

Taking on this globe alone

It took ink in flesh and sunburnt necks

To be happy in the skin I own

I don't have a clue

I'm learning to be free

I'm just the same as you

This is all I've learnt to be at 23

At 23

I'll wear your shoes

For the next few miles

If we walk on the same road

The stronger the skin, on our bare feet

The stronger both out souls

I don't have a clue

I'm learning to be free

I'm just the same as you

This is all I've learnt to be at 23

At 23

There'll be winds and bends and misplaced friends

Getting lost along the way

The one confirmed thing that I've learnt

Is that I won't be 23 again

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh

At 23
