Seventeen

Fine, we're damaged, really damaged
But that does not make us wise
We're not special, we're not different

We don't choose who lives or dies
Let's be normal, see bad movies
Sneak a beer and watch TV
We'll bake brownies or go bowling
Don't you want a life with me?
Can't we be seventeen?
That's all I want to do
If you could let me in
I could be good with you

People hurt us

Or they vanish

And you're right, that really blows

But we let go
Take a deep breath

Then go buy some summer clothes

We'll go camping

Play some poker

And we'll eat some chili fries

Maybe prom night, maybe dancing

Don't stop looking in my eyes (your eyes)

Can't we be seventeen
Is that so hard to do?
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right

So what's it gonna be?
I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you tonight

Yeah, we're damaged

Badly damaged

But your love's too good to lose

Hold me tighter, even closer

I'll stay if I'm what you choose

Can we be seventeen?
If I am what you choose

If we still have the right

'Cause you're the one I choose

You're the one I choose

You're the one I choose
