Song lyrics

Send "23" ringtones to your cell

I felt for sure last night that once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me

I'm still driving away and I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live not stopping

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me
Only you

You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for
I'm here
I'm now
I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets

You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for
I'm here
I'm now
I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for
I'm here
I'm now
I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for
I'm here
I'm now
I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is the most beautiful song i ever heard. i can relate to it completely to me the song has to do with a person wanting to be with the one they love. however, the person they love doesnt want to be with them for watever reason...either because theres sumthing in the way.. or the timing isnt right... and u can just hear the despiration in his voice when he sings the chorus amazing song... a final plea to make love win....

44 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal The first time I listened to it, I didn't seem to find anything remarkable about it. After listening to it a second time the passion in his voice hit. "You'll sit alone forever, if you wait for the right time..." Like that bit the best, two words - melancholy beautiful.

I'm in another relationship now, and i'm happy, but i'll never forget her.

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is truly amazing, like everyone else already said. And someone mentioned how many times was this song played on his/her player? Well I have a number of 442. The number is for the times I have listened a song of Our Lady Peace - Not Enough. If you like J.e.w. try out Our Lady Peace! "Not Enough" will blow your mind!

32 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal OMG best JEW song ever!! first time I heard this song I started crying. Now thats 2 jew songs that do the too me. 23 and hear you me. But the lyrics and instrumentals in this song are just so impressive. Its soft and calm and you still have guitar and drums. Its a great mixture. The lyrics are just so I dont know how to explain it. Just amazing a song

Ive never heard anything else that hits me the way this song does...and did someone with fucking FOB as their screen name say J/E/W went mainstream? what a joke, coming from a fall out boy fan. Fag.
