Paroles 23 Noah Kahan

23

Half as drunk as I thought I'd be by now, that's good
I can still see the people around me change shape
Speak their minds and pretend they were misunderstood
Preachin' 'bout sin over lines of cocaine

Even when you're not here, it becomes about you
They all want me to tell them your story
You broke in and stole china from our living room
Kinda makes all the other parts boring

You stand over half a foot taller than me
Your marks on the wall of the weight room
Naive to believe you would come back and see
If I could finally take you

Oh I'll beat your ass 'til the morning
You know I've been running all this time
Sprinting my way past your bedroom
Lifting the weight of you off my mind
'Cause if I never see you again
You could be anything I want
23, clean in the engine heat
Teachin' me how the thing runs
Stay gone, won't you stay gone
Stay gone, stay gone

Tattooed your initials into my right arm
So I'd see your name when I lift up a drink
There ain't nothing else here worth catching up on
So I hope that it's warm wherever you sleep

And I've got a feeling that won't go away
The doctors are calling it just moving on
I still ball up my fists when they mention your name
No one gets to talk shit but the ones you've shit on

Oh I'll beat your ass in the morning
You know I've been running all this time
Sprinting my way past your bedroom
Lifting the weight of you off my mind
'Cause if I never see you again
You could be anything I want
23, clean in the engine heat
Teachin' me how the thing runs
Stay gone, stay gone, won't you stay gone
Stay gone, stay gone

Yeah I'll beat your ass 'til the morning
You know I've been running all this time
Sprinting my way past your bedroom
Lifting the weight of you off my mind

'Cause if I never see you again
And you could be anything I want
23, clean in the engine heat
Teachin' me how the thing runs
23, clean in the engine heat
It can all be the way that it was
If you stay gone, stay gone
Won't you stay gone, stay gone
