Seventeen Lyrics

First time in the local since I don't know when

Long due catch up with my closest friends

Same old band playing cowboy style

And I catch a glimpse of your haunting smile

You come in and sit across from me

And so it starts the how've you beens

My mind goes blank can't think what to say

I'm so busy thinking about yesterday

When I got so caught up in what was gonna be

That I missed you standing there in front of me

Who can say that time will heal

What I couldn't see when I was seventeen

I see you're happy now after all that mess

It's tough to see you look your very best

I'll build that bridge someday you know

And I'll walk on over once I can let you go

But I got so caught up in what was gonna be

That I missed you standing there in front of me

Who can say that time will heal

What I couldn't see when I was seventeen

What I couldn't see when I was seventeen

. .

I got so caught up in what was gonna be

That I missed you standing there in front of me

Who can say that time will heal

What I couldn't see when I was seventeen

What I couldn't see when I was seventeen

Well I wish I'd seen it when I was seventeen
