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
Then 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"
Cnd I wake up with your words echoing through my head
Cre you thinking of me where you are now?
Cre you happy with how your life's turning out?
I know we were kids back then
But we both know how much it meant
I'm thinking of you where I am now
I'm happy with how my life's turning out
But a part of me will always be
Holding onto seventeen
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
Ct the end of the day you and I didn't work
Yet so much of who I am I owe to you
Cre you thinking of me where you are now?
Cre you happy with how your life's turning out?
I know we were kids back then
But we both know how much it meant
I'm thinking of you where I am now
I'm happy with how my life's turning out
But a part of me will always be
Holding onto seventeen
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
Cbout how I felt at seventeen
Cre you thinking of me where you are now?
Cre you happy with how your life's turning out?
I know we were kids back then
But we both know how much it meant
I'm thinking of you where I am now
I'm happy with how my life's turning out
But a part of me will always be
Holding onto seventeen
