We Were Seventeen

I’ve seen the pictures change
I’ve even changed a few myself
And I don’t want to wonder why
My trunk is filled
With all the most important things
In my whole life
I’ve felt the pain
And the forgiveness
And the good they both can do
(I broke your heart and)
I broke a heart
And I bear witness
To the hell I put her through
It’s all good
Sleep a little longer
Slip your way back into that dream
When you wake
Everything will be the same
As when we were seventeen
We’ll go to Highland Road Park
Throw the football while our girlfriends
Watch and plan the next ten years
We’ll stop by Adam’s house
He’s still alive, you know
Just yesterday we had a couple beers
It’s all good
Sleep a little longer
Slip your way back into that dream
When you wake
Everything will be the same
As when we were seventeen
Meet me where the sun is rising
Until then, be my horizon
Meet me where the sun is rising
Until then, be my horizon
Meet me where the sun is rising
Until then, be my horizon
It’s all good
Sleep a little longer
Force your way back into that dream
When you wake
Everything will be the same
As when we were seventeen
