I was 18 when my father said to me,
You’ll make mistakes, but that’s called learning,
I was 19 when I pulled my first beer,
I thought it was fine, that I had nothing to fear
I was 20 when I found my confidence,
At the cost of my, self-respect
At 21 I had my first kiss,
Not with a girl I liked, it was a drunken mess
Back at Tim’s house Ernie told me,
He’d found second base that night,
That was nothing I wanted to hear,
But I knew I’d be alright
At 22 I felt my hands began to shake,
I knew I couldn’t stop the ache,
And 23 was when you walked into my life,
I’m confused and nervous but it somehow feels right
She said the best words I ever heard,
“Won’t you stay a little longer”?
It was a hard lesson to learn,
That time will make the heart grow fonder
I’ve been trying my best,
Just to give myself some rest,
But I’ve nothing else to show,
And there’s nowhere else to go
And your hand around my heart,
Keeps me from falling apart,
I never thought you’d fall,
Then you said the Three Words that changed it all
