Look at me I'm only seventeen
The many years between us
Have been broken
Look at me under the evergreen
Life is a mellow dream
Almost unspoken
By the way
You said you're here to stay
Let me love you 'til tomorrow
Then it will last a year and a day
Maybe we're here to forget
Look at me, I'm only seventeen
It hasn't been too long
But it's been lonely
Look at me, and smell the tangerine
Life is a mellow song
But only only
By the time
You reach your lemon-lime
I will love you 'til tomorrow
Then it will last a year and a day
Maybe we're here to forget
Look at me, I'm only seventeen
It hasn't been too long
But it's been lonely
Look at me, under the evergreen
Life is a mellow song
If only only...
The many years between us
Have been broken
Look at me under the evergreen
Life is a mellow dream
Almost unspoken
You said you're here to stay
Let me love you 'til tomorrow
Then it will last a year and a day
Maybe we're here to forget
It hasn't been too long
But it's been lonely
Look at me, and smell the tangerine
Life is a mellow song
But only only
You reach your lemon-lime
I will love you 'til tomorrow
Then it will last a year and a day
Maybe we're here to forget
It hasn't been too long
But it's been lonely
Look at me, under the evergreen
Life is a mellow song
If only only...

to me this song is about a young girl that knows she can't love the one she loves
