Seventeen

We fell in love when we were young Oh, what a thing we've done So many things we didn't know Driving just to see how far we go Life passes by, like a whisper We lost our sight, too many times Caught in a photograph we made We were seventeen Watching the colours as they fade And all the while the faces stay the same And yet, they never seem so strange to me, yeah What do you say, let's just run away and do it again? We'll get up early, you will leave Get drunk on air and sea You'll call in sick and then we'll go Get back late and never tell a soul Life passes by, like a whisper How many times can we lose sight? Caught in a photograph we made We were seventeen Watching the colours as they fade And all the while the faces stay the same And yet, they never seem so strange to me, yeah What do you say, let's just run away and do it again? If only I had told you more I went and let you close that door How did we get so lost? How did we get so far? It's not as easy as you'd think You know I wouldn't change a thing That's why we got so lost That's why we got this far Caught in a photograph we made We were seventeen Watching the colours as they fade And all the while the faces stay the same And yet, they never seem so strange to me, yeah What do you say, let's just run away and do it again?
