This song was named “23” because when Johnny sent Ryan the recording of the main riff of the song, it was titled “Voice Memo 23.”
This track also features Sasha Dobson in the background.
[Verse 1]
I'm headed away from home all alone
Where I stop nobody knows
And you don't need to know
I get where I'm going
I'm gone
No stranger to the danger
No stranger to the game
Now everyone's a stranger
But who cares?
That's why I came
[Chorus 1]
I'm going further than I ever even knew
I'm going somewhere, I swear I'll head anywhere
But I'm going nowhere fast with you
It's the season, it's the season of the sun
(Season of the sun)
I'm on the run
[Verse 2]
You thought I couldn't disappear
But, no, ha
It isn't what you think anymore
And I just had a little bit of tequila
So see ya, I'm out the door
I never had another reason to leave it all behind
And I'm never looking back again
I'm headed to another fucking dimension
Did I mention, I'm never looking back again
[Chorus 2]
I'm going further than I ever even knew
I'm going somewhere, I swear I'll head anywhere
But I'm going nowhere fast with you
It's the season, it's the season of the sun
(Season of the sun)
So give me the gun
[Bridge]
And when I find what I want I
I open up the fucking door
And you can keep whatever's left
Cause I've had it all before
Aw BACK THE FUCK UP!
[Chorus 1]
I'm going further than I ever even knew
I'm going somewhere, I swear I'll head anywhere
But I'm going nowhere fast with you
It's the season, it's the season of the sun
(Season of the sun)
I'm on the run
