17

(album: Cageless - 2017)

When we were 17
And on cheap wine and stolen weed
And we'd get kicked outta every place
We'd go and we'd call it home
Then we were 23
And you told me you'd marry me
And I thought I'd never be alone
But you know, you never know

Sleeping in, waking up, staring at me
But you're gone now, look around, I can barely breathe
Still sleeping in, waking up, mattress on the floor
But we're not 17 no more

Where do I go, where do I go?
Where do I go when you're gone?
Tell me how to get back, tell me how to get back home
Where do I go, where do I go?
I didn't know you'd be gone
Tell me how to get back, tell me how to get back home

Yeah
Ooohhh
(You know it, you know it, you're gone)
Ooohhh
(You know it, you know it, you're gone)

Fast forward 26
And all this sex is meaningless
And I still wonder where'd you go
But I know, I'll never know
Now I can't tell myself apart
I lost my mind and broke my heart
It cost me something beautiful
And I know, you'll never know

Sleeping in, waking up, staring at me
But you're gone now, look around, I can barely breathe
Still sleeping in, waking up, mattress on the floor
But we're not 17 no more

Where do I go, where do I go?
Where do I go when you're gone?
Tell me how to get back, tell me how to get back home
Where do I go, where do I go?
I didn't know you'd be gone
Tell me how to get back, tell me how to get back home

Yeah
Ooohhh
(You know it, you know it, you're gone)
Ooohhh
(You know it, you know it, you're gone)

(Ahh, coming back, home)

Looking back, 17
Was all that it was supposed to be
And you know, it's something beautiful
To know you'll never know

Where do I go, where do I go?
Where do I go when you're gone?
Tell me how to get back, tell me how to get back home
Where do I go, where do I go?
I didn't know you'd be gone
Tell me how to get back, tell me how to get back home

Ooohhh
(You know it, you know it, you're gone)
Ooohhh
(You know it, you know it, you're gone)
Ooohhh
(You know it, you know it, you're gone)
Tell me how to get back, tell me how to get back home
