You changed my face, I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow, 'cause that's the way it is
You said hello, where the [bad word] you been?
I said I feel like I've been off to war, and I may never be the same again

I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night
I'm tossin and turnin you know, you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud

And when you dream 17
I ain't there, so I don't care
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

I lie in my bed, [bad word] through my head
Going over and over and over, the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap, [bad word] like [bad word] right back to you
'Cause I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone

And when you dream 17
I ain't there, so I don't care
'Cause in all my dreams, I'm 23
And she's the girl right next to me
