lyrics

Seventeen

Waking from dream
fireflies rushing and crushing
flying buzzing over me

Shaking in my boots
half dressed lying in a double bed
curled up right next to you

This ain't where I thought I'd be
Back when I was seventeen
It ain't written in my diary
back when I was seventeen

I don't know your name
What's in a name
All sounds the same
when you're feeling no pain
the booze has been shot right through your brain

This ain't where I thought I'd be
Back when I was seventeen
It ain't written in my diary
back when I was seventeen

If you see me oh just keep walking on
If you have a doubt, just keep walking on
If you see me oh, just keep walking on, just keep walking on

This ain't where I thought I'd be
Back when I was seventeen
It ain't written in my diary
back when I was seventeen
