Seventeen lyrics - Beth Crowley

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
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
and I wake up with your words echoing through my head

[Chorus:]
Are you thinking of me where you are now?
Are you happy with how your life's turning out?
I know we were kids back then
but it's not fair to downplay it

Too many years have since gone by
to confess what's been haunting me all of this time
That a part of me is seventeen
and still in love with you

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
at the end of the day you and I didn't work
Yet so much of who I am I owe to you

[Chorus]

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
about how I felt at seventeen

[Chorus]
