Twenty-Three

Sleepin' on an airplane Wake up in a night train Movin' to the city David, me and Philly Our band was on the first page You were waitin' backstage That was long ago I can still hear my name fallin' from your lips I listen back just because I like the sound of it Those years have passed, them times have gone Some things last and some things don't Remember me when I was 23 I realize it was the best for me Just a memory that I can barely see Close your eyes and dance with me Sunday at the ice rink Hockey and a hard drink My brothers playin' defense Life was makin' no sense Parties on our parents' lawn Singin' to The Killers "Are we human or are we dancer?" At the spring market you were treating me charmingly While tappin' beers at the bar next to the pharmacy Those years have passed, them times have gone Some things last and some things don't Remember me when I was 23 I realize it was the best for me Just a memory that I can barely see Close your eyes and dance with me Baby, dance with me C'mon, c'mon! Do you remember? Feels like it was only yesterday Do you remember? Blue skies that were never turning grey We've changed The roles we play they can always rearrange We've changed I'm not the man I thought that I would be Remember me when I was 23 I realize it's still a part of me Just a memory that I can barely see Close your eyes and come back with me Remember me when I was 23 I realize it was the best for me Just a memory that I can barely see Close your eyes and dance with me C'mon and dance with me Come on, close your eyes and dance with me Hey, hey, and dance with me Close your eyes and dance with me
