They Said Lyrics

They said seventeen was way too young

To meet somebody and know they're the one

But that was a chance you and me were willing to take

They said 500 miles and two tanks of gas

Would be too much to make this last

But we make distance work anyway

Through the thick and thin baby

What we have outweighs

What they said about you and me

Yeah they don't know us

But they said that we would

Fall apart and lose that spark

And fade like old blue jeans

Yeah they said the butterflies would all fly away

That hearts that fall are all meant to break

And every green light would end up turnin' red

Yeah, the only reason we made it here's because

We didn't care what they said

It's been four good trips

Around that sun

Now they're probably talkin' 'bout how far we've come

Looking back looks like we proved them wrong

When they said it wasn't meant to be

Yeah they don't know us

But they said that we would

Fall apart and lose that spark

And fade like old blue jeans

Yeah they said the butterflies would all fly away

That hearts that fall are all meant to break

And every green light would end up turnin' red

Yeah, the only reason we made it here's because

We didn't care what they said

We didn't care what they said

I guess the stars that night were on our side

Forever never left those need you green eyes

When they wanted us to give in

Thank God we didn't listen

To what they said about you and me

Yeah they don't know us

They said that we would

Fall apart and lose that spark

And fade like old blue jeans

Yeah they said the butterflies would all fly away

That hearts that fall are all meant to break

And every green light would end up turnin' red

Yeah, the only reason we made it here's because

We didn't care what they said

No we didn't

We didn't care what they said

No, no, no

They said seventeen was way too young

To meet somebody and know they're the one

But that was a chance you and me were willing to take
