XVII Lyrics

Push and pull

Back and forth

Hold you close and then I ignore

It's like an addiction that I'm trying to break

I see you shoes

Left at the door

Lipstick stains from the night before

Can't get you out my mind and it makes me ache

It's to sad to know

That I let you go

And you moved on quicker than I ever could

Was I critical

Did I play it slow

I wish I could walk back to where I stood

Cuz I'll be

Twenty-one in a blink

And I'll still think of

You and me

So innocent and

Comforting

And I'll see

A future worth remembering

You were always

Older than me

I was so naive but I was only seventeen

Second date

Thrown out the bar

Laughing our way down the boulevard

Cuz the bartender took my fake ID

Some would say that were troublesome

Going from problems to another one

It was all my fault but you never agreed

It's so sad to know

That I let you go

And you moved on quicker than I ever could

Was I critical

Did I play it slow

I wish I could walk back to where I stood

Cuz I'll be

Twenty-one in a blink

And I'll still think of

You and me

So innocent and

Comforting

And I'll see

A future worth remembering

You were always

Older than me

I was so naive but I was only seventeen

And oh

I can't fathom what I said

Cuz when it was done

You scream out your lungs

And said you want me dead

And oh

I was hopeless at my best

Cuz at age seventeen

Didn't know what it means

To care just like you did

Cuz I'll be

Twenty-one in a blink

And I'll still think of

You and me

So innocent and

Comforting

And I'll see

A future worth remembering

You were always

Older than me

I was so naive but I was only seventeen
