alien jesus - 23 Lyrics

Nowhere's home at 23
Nobody's home
And it's just me
Flower growing in concrete
Maybe there's still hope for me
And I'm too old for teenage angst
But when I'm with you all that changed
Kissing in your passenger seat
Nowhere's home at 23
I keep trying to grab air by the fistful then wonder why I come up empty
When you're with me
Nothing's real
I'm in a dream
Moved to a smaller room
For a better place in the city
And when you met me
My mind was light
But my heart was heavy
And I'm too young to understand
Why it breaks and aches and falls in love again
I keep trying to grab air by the fistful then wonder why I come up empty
When you're with me
Nothing's real
I'm in a dream
Cracked the hourglass
Slipping sand in my palms
I never got to be nineteen
Now nowhere's home
Nowhere's home at 23
And it burns
Cause I'm not
Exactly where I wanna be
But nowhere's home
Nowhere's home at 23
And if you hurt me
I'll take it along for the road with revelry
Cause nowhere's home
Nowhere's home at 23
