Do you remember when we were younger?
We'd sit around and dream about what we could do
Ain't got no worries, no time for sorries
God only knows how it all goes, it's up to you
It was so easy to claim
I'm just gonna do it my way
Fuck what society says
And I'm so done with all the norms
I just wanna work on myself
Everyone else can go to hell
My art can speak for itself
And who needs money (come on now)
I don't wanna grow up please
I'm begging on my knees
I wanna be forever 23
God, I don't wanna grow up see
All the possibilities
They excite me, but they scare me
Forever 23
(Thought we would be young, thought we would be young)
(Thought we would be young, thought we would be young)
Thought I was capable of
Purely doing what I love as a job
Lovin' and livin' the way that I want
Now that I know how it all goes
Is it just a pipe dream? (Ayy)
Is there such a thing as a right dream? (Okay)
Wish I could just tell life to fight me
But it doesn't work that way
It was so easy to claim
I'm just gonna do it my way
Fuck what society says
And I am so done with all of the norms
And I just wanna work on myself
Everyone else can go to hell
My art can speak for itself
But I need money (let's be real now)
I don't wanna grow up please
I'm begging on my knees
I wanna be forever 23
God, I don't wanna grow up see
All the possibilities
They excite me, but they scare me
Forever 23
(Thought we would be young, thought we would be young)
Forever 23
(Thought we would be young, thought we would be young)
Forever 23
(Thought we would be young, thought we would be young)
Forever 23
(Thought we would be young, thought we would be young)
Forever 23
Growing up is harder than I'd ever thought it'd be
So many things I took for granted, I just didn't see
