I can remember
First taste
Of you like alcohol
'Round mid December
Wasting time
At the South Hill Mall
College football sweatshirt
And faded jeans like a 90s dream
Betting on who will fall first
I lost the game once
Those dimples gleamed
Oh I, in the snow we were cold
But your eyes
They were on
Fire, they say
When you know you know
Twenty-three, eyes of green
Take me back to better days then
Twenty-three, hide and seek
The world stopped
The moment we met
Maybe it might sound a bit crazy
But I've been feeling strange
Things about you lately
Reckless as sin, still diving in
To your sea, so deep
In love at twenty-three
I can remember
First time we fought
Like an addiction
Blood burned with temper
Slamming doors like romance fiction
And that football sweatshirt
With twenty-three sewn into the back
Kept me warm when you didn't
It kept me sane
When love made both of us mad
Oh I, in the sand we were damned
But your eyes, they were like
Ice, they say
When it's over it's over
Twenty-three, eyes of green
Take me back to better days then
Twenty-three, hide and seek
The world stopped
The moment we met
Maybe it might sound a bit crazy
But I've been feeling strange
Things about you lately
Reckless as sin
Still diving in
To your sea, so deep
In love at twenty-three
I close my eyes
And babe it all comes back
Lovesick for records
And that dark blue plaid
At twenty-three you thought you'd
Finally found something worth chasing
But I guess you'll have to be patient
I walk that road
And babe I see it all
Fresh buds of new love dead
From Pacific fall
At twenty-three maybe I'll finally
Find something worth chasing
Instead of something worth breaking
Take me back to better days when
The world stopped
The moment we met
Twenty-three, eyes of green
Take me back to better days then
Twenty-three, hide and seek
The world stopped
The moment we met
Maybe it might sound a bit crazy
But I've been feeling strange
Things about you lately
Reckless as sin, still diving in
To your sea
So deep in love at twenty-three
