WHEN WE WERE 17 Lyrics

17, Not a lot on my mind

You and me, yeah we met right on time

Couple weeks, now we're holding hands

Your mom, yeah she didn't understand

The way that my face lit up when you would call

Staying up till the sunrise just to hear you talk

And the moment I met you we had it all

Never thought about living without you

Didn't think that it always had to feel right

Late nights, summer drives, just you and I

My hand your knee, you were lookin at me

I was falling too fast for your light green eyes

Everything that you said to me

That night sitting on your jeep

We were counting the stars

Life wasn't as hard when we were 17

When we 17, driving in your beat up Jeep

Listening to somebody, that's where I want to be

Took you to my favorite spot, didn't have to say a lot

Now I know what I lost

Maybe you were never here

And the things that we did

Will start to disappear

But the moment I wake up

I'm reminded of what was

I still know the names of all our kids

And all the places where we'd live

I know your happier with him but

Do you you still think about the times

When we had planned out our whole lives

Cause I do

Didn't think that it always had to feel right

Late nights, summer drives, just you and I

My hand your knee, you were lookin at me

I was falling too fast for your light green eyes

Everything that you said to me

That night sitting on your jeep

We were counting the stars

Life wasn't as hard when we were 17

When we 17, driving in your beat up Jeep

Listening to somebody, that's where I want to be

Took you to my favorite spot, didn't have to say a lot

Now I know what I lost
