And I feel like I can fly
(In 2009)
[Chorus]
The only thing we needed to be
Way back then was just 17
Never felt like any day…
…we needed to be
Way back then was just 17
Never felt like any day was wasted
We were broke and jamming in the basement
I know I'll…
…we needed to be
Way back then was just 17
Though things got complicated, the memories aren't dissipated
I know I'll always remember it all
Summers in Saginaw
Those summers in Saginaw…
Is there a place for us?
Is there a place for us?
This city life will swallow all of me
I'm 75 I was just 17
And late at night when…
…75 I was just 17
Is there a place for us?
Is there, yeah?
Well it swallowed me and it swallowed all of me
I'm 75, I'm 75, I'm 75 I was just 17.
…a picture of my mother when she was just 17
looking wild and glamorous at a party
laughing about to scream
So I flew…
…my voice is deformed
exotic islands and new species of animals is all I'm writing for
I found a picture of my brother when he was just…
…17
jet-black hair on his first tour ever, totally hung over
So I joined the marines just to travel the world
Afghanistan…
She was just 17 and she was a loser
That didn't mean that much to me
She got drunk one day and stole my daddy's car
She went…
You know she makes me so happy
She was just 17 and she was a loser
She meant everything to me
She got drunk one night and bit me till it scarred
I let her do the other arm…
When I was just 17
I got carried away
When I was just 17
I took control of my fate
It started to feel so wrong
And I'm barely…
…she was just 17, if you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (Ooh…

…with a child of her own
Seems she was just 17, oh how our children they grow
He'll ask for sunshine, and she'll agree
You see for him, she'd do anything…
…light
Thinkin' it was love, but it was just 17
[Chorus]
And we dance and we laugh 'til we all fall down
We keep kissin' boys tryin…
…this
Patty packed her bags, left a note for her mama, she was just 17
There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister…
…a fiend, prolly Millie rock
I was just 17 chillin' on the block
If she say she In love she a silly thot
Man, I used to be grinding, just…
Well, she was just 17
And you know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance…
…when you wanted to die?
Then you wake up and you don't want to die anymore
It has happened before
She was just 17
You don't know what…
…1-2-3-4!
Well, she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance…
…be
I've been here before when I was just 17
Yeah I swore on a feeling my actions were hard to believe
I wanted…
Well, she was just 17
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (Ooh…
