I asked her at a quarter to three I told her Coca-Cola is free Its okay, I'm alright, you okay Come and spend the night? We jumped into the mystical sea I told her "leave the rest up to me" And we swam and we kissed and we sunk into eternity I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream Breaking up is hard to do when you're seventeen She handed me a note casually She said "meet me at a quarter to three" So I went there alone and stood outside her history It hit me like a punch in the face She said that we should go our own ways I didn't cry, I didn't smile I didn't die, I just faded away I never knew that the heart could break and the love could be so mean My heart stopped beating when I was seventeen I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream Breaking up is hard to do when you're seventeen A couple of days later gone by Started getting back my appe-petite So I cut me a piece of old fashioned american pie I asked her out a quarter to three Wish I knew that n-n-nothing is free Say hello, say goodbye to the day that the summertime died I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream Life can be crazy when you're seventeen
