Seventeen

Reverence so uncomfortable You sit across the room 'Cause I'm too scared to talk to you You knew a friend, I knew a friend I looked down at your hands Pretending I was looking at the floor I held your eyes for quite some time I'm not sure how it happened I was just surprised Were you surprised? I walk in the breeze Like I am seventeen Love is mostly war And war, what is it for? Only love the people Who don't love you back What is up with that? Are you done with that? I can't say I'm much different 'Cause I still love you I was blinded And I'm still blinded I walk in the breeze Like I am seventeen Love is mostly war And love, what is it for? I distract myself with other things To keep myself from you I'm tired of the others They never loved you My life has always been a kind of secret Can you keep it? Could you keep it? I walk in the breeze Like I am seventeen Love is mostly war And love, what is it for? You always say that I look so tough But it's because I'm tough I walk in the breeze (you always say) Like I am seventeen (that I look so tough) Love is mostly war (but it's because I'm tough) And love, what is it for? I walk in the breeze (you always say) Like I am seventeen (that I look so tough) Love is mostly war (but it's because I'm tough) And love, what is it for?
