I have stared at the moon when it wanes, when it bleeds I have sat in the dark thinking terrible things With the van pulling in, the headlights on the trees Man, the car gets so quiet when you pull out the keys Before you say a word Come stand on the edge with me We came all the way out here The city looks so pretty Looking down thinking, "It could be so easy" Will I ever be as happy as seventeen? As seventeen ♪ I have written a million words I'll never say I have spilled myself out and then tucked it away When the dawn's pouring in and I'm lying awake If I close my eyes tight, I can still see your face Before we say goodbye Sitting down by the water With the sunlight in your eyes I could make this last forever if I tried You know it could be so easy Will I ever be as happy as seventeen? As seventeen
