seventeen

Lyrics

i can go for days, even months, without thinking of you, not even once, then like a wave you come crashing into my dreams, i'm sitting with you in your beat up car, laughing and looking up at the stars, a shadow falls over your face as you turn to me, you say i won't be happy til i give you the world, don't you know you'll always be my girl, and i wake up with your words echoing through my head, are you thinking of me where you are now?, are you happy with how your life's turning out?, i know we were kids back then, but it's not fair to downplay it, too many years have since gone by, to confess what's been haunting me all of this time, that a part of me is seventeen, and still in love with you, i leave my eyes closed so i can keep, slow dancing with your memory, but the image that once burned brightly starts to fade, i know i romanticize all that we were, at the end of the day you and i didn't work, yet so much of who i am i owe to you, if i knew back then what i know now, could have foretold the end somehow, i still don't think i would change a thing, about how i felt at seventeen,
