(+) Twenty Three
Before the days that never ended
Descended to a day job
The enemy was public the soul spoke de la
Broke like a clay vase when charity left town
So we were on our own til
Our reality checks bounced
Well ain't nothing like a little bit of rain
Just to wash away the rust
From the swing set chains
Faint for a sudden til it all comes rushing
Like was that the way it was back then?
Cause back then dedication meant you
Kept it on the grind
Til the first slice of sunshine
Bled through the blinds
I thought that we were kings
I thought she was in love with me
I thought I knew the world
Til the summer we were twenty three
I thought I knew the world
Til the summer we were twenty three
I thought I knew the world back then
We weren't allowed to play after dark
When cool was lisa frank and jurassic park
When art was still a macaroni necklace
The summers were golden
We would only play at home when we'd get sick
It's kind of funny how complicated love got
Since the first kiss on the corner by the bus stop
Bloodshot sunsets run red underneath
Thought I knew the world
Til the summer we were twenty three
Nineteen we were lucky twenty we were kings
Twenty one sunk to the bottom of the drink
By twenty two we kept misery for company
We thought we knew the world
Til the summer we were twenty three
