Seventeen

(album: Between Here And Now - 2011)

Seventeen when I first saw her
Fell in love so fast that summer
Playing in the pouring rain
Staying up till morning came and
I never felt that way before
Yeah there's nothing in this world I wanted more

Then love came in, and time flew by, we were so free
We had it all, we gave so much, still we couldn't see
Convinced ourselves forever was more than a dream
How could we know, we were only seventeen

Six years later on one knee
Looking at her, looking back at me
She could hardly answer
As tears of joy fell down her cheek and
2 A.M. she calls suffering
As she didn't know it was
A beginning of the end, the end

Then love came in, and time flew by, we were so free
We had it all, we gave so much, still we couldn't see
Convinced ourselves forever was more than a dream
How could we know, we were only twenty three

As she's got a dress hanging on her door frame
I got a ring sitting on my dresser
I don't know what went wrong
I don't know how I lost her
She said she needs to find herself
Wants me to go and bring some help but
All I want is her
But all I can do is just, remember

Then love came in, and time flew by, we were so free
We had it all, we gave so much, still we couldn't see
Convinced ourselves forever was more than a dream
How could we have known
How could we know
We were only seventeen
Only seventeen
