Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I thought about the place tonight
Where we both used to drink and I
Remember when the neighbor broke your window
And it used to rain the water wore away the paint
And left a puddle on the floor under your table
[Verse 2]
How you been since the last time that I saw you?
'Cause I think about it often
And I miss you if I'm honest
Well, yeah, I think I'm doing fine, but I don't know
'Cause the nights can get so cold
And I'm always thinking back to when we were
[Verse 3]
Stealing bottles that we'd drink out in the street
Pulling smoke into our lungs
Who would have thought I'd be so lost at twenty-three?
Oh Lord, take me back to twenty-one
[Verse 4]
I know it's not that long
But it seems longer on my own
And I am missing home
More than you could know
[Verse 5]
And yeah, I bet that nothing's changed
The place will always stay the same
I wish that I could say the same 'bout me though
[Verse 6]
Do you remember us the same way that I do?
Do you think about it often?
'Cause it's all I seem to do
[Verse 7]
Yeah, I think I'm doing fine, but I don't know
'Cause the nights can get so cold
And I'm always thinking back to when we were
[Verse 8]
Stealing bottles that we'd drink out in the street
Pulling smoke into our lungs
[Verse 9]
Who would have thought I'd be so lost at twenty-three?
Oh Lord, take me back to twenty-one
Oh Lord, take me back to twenty-one
[Verse 10]
Uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-oh
Uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-oh
Uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-oh
Uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-oh
[Verse 11]
Stealing bottles that we'd drink out in the street
Pulling smoke into our lungs
Who would have thought I'd be so lost at twenty-three?
[Verse 12]
Oh Lord, take me back to twenty-one
Oh Lord, take me back to twenty-one
Oh Lord, take me back to twenty-one
