I remember sixteen
Watching a family fall apart
I remember eighteen
Giving love a fresh start
I remember twenty
Walking away from a girl
Knowing there was plenty
Of life in the world
Yet now I'm twenty two
Had some fun and bad breaks
I remember having you
Thinking I had what it takes
I can feel twenty three
Coming up far too fast
When I look back what I'll see
Is a polaroid of my short past
Still be the same punk I am now
Chasing all the same little thrills
All the while wondering how
I've survived the smoke, the drinks, and the pills
I'm not looking for lessons or lectures
I've already walked the stage twice
Sorry but I'm not lookingfor direction
Towards what you people call a life
Short history of an almost twenty three year old.
