I have stared at the moon when it wanes, when it bleeds
I have sat in the dark thinking terrible things
With the van pulling in, the headlights on the trees
Man, the car gets so quiet when you pull out the keys
Before you say a word
Come stand on the edge with me
We came all the way out here
The city looks so pretty
Looking down thinking, "It could be so easy"
Will I ever be as happy as seventeen?
As seventeen
I have written a million words I'll never say
I have spilled myself out and then tucked it away
When the dawn's pouring in and I'm lying awake
If I close my eyes tight, I can still see your face
Before we say goodbye
Sitting down by the water
With the sunlight in your eyes
I could make this last forever if I tried
You know it could be so easy
Will I ever be as happy as seventeen?
As seventeen
