"23"

Everybody needs an anchor

A little something that makes you stay

An incentive, someone to fight for

'Cause no one really needs so much space

A couple years ago I was lonely

I used to think that there was no God

But then you looked at me with your blue eyes

And my agnosticism turned into dust

How well you know me

That I don't care if the rest don't

It doesn't matter to me, no, oh

As long as you love me

As long as we still have each other

I knew we had something

From the moment I met you

And I knew we had something

No one thought it could be true

Hey, do you believe?

Do you believe in destiny?

'Cause I do as I did then

When you were only 23

God knows that I'm a good dancer

My feet can move to the music he plays

But there were times I asked for an answer

When he was acting in mysterious ways

And there were nights that I stayed up crying

'Cause I was certain that things wouldn't change

But then you came, and I saw you smiling

Just like an angel, so beautifully strange

And then you touched me

It's like you were made for me, oh

Like it was all meant to be, oh

And I was sure that you would love me

And that we'd always have each other

I knew we had something

From the moment I met you

And I knew we had something

No one thought it could be true

Hey, do you believe?

Do you believe in destiny?

'Cause I do as I did then

When you were only 23

Always thought that I was fine, but I was wrong

It was you, that one piece I was missing

And I could do without you, but it'd be no fun

I found you, and life was suddenly easy

There ain't no worries now

There ain't no feeling down

I knew we had something

From the moment I met you

And I knew we had something

No one thought it could be true

Hey, do you believe?

Do you believe in destiny?

'Cause I do as I did then

When you were only 23
