17

Sitting on the bus
On the way to work again
Every day is just the same
But I do it anyway
We all hit those moments in life
Caught in the motions
But you kept me hanging on

When you were here
Everything was so simple
No need to worry
Clearing out my mind
Bright, sunshine
Feels like the first time
Wherever that place is, it felt like home

That bright shining summer
Everything was first and free
It felt like doo-doo-doo-doo
It felt like doo-doo-doo-doo

Don't want anything else if I have you here
All I want is to feel that way
When we're seventeen

Now that I look back
That was a long time ago
Just running ahead
And no time for fun
I never thought I'd be here so soon
Where did the time go?
Somebody take me back

When you were here
Everything was so simple
No need to worry
Clearing out my mind
Bright, sunshine
Feels like the first time
Wherever that place is, it felt like home

That bright shining summer
Everything was first and free
It felt like doo-doo-doo-doo
It felt like doo-doo-doo-doo

Don't want anything else if I have you here
All I want is to feel that way
When we're seventeen

The air used to feel magical
The sky was so blue
These days all I see is shades of gray
But when you're around me, I feel brand new
Won't you take me back to those days?

My longing summer
The radiant you and me
It felt like doo-doo-doo-doo
It felt like doo-doo-doo-doo

Don't want anything else if I have you here
All I want is to feel that way
When we're seventeen

Ooh
(These days I just wanna hide away)
(Take me back to those days, hey)
When we're seventeen
Ooh
(Just take me back to those days)

All I want is to feel like
I just wanna feel like
I wanna feel that way
When we're seventeen
