Seventeen

i was only seventeen, my whole life in front of me with my head down

and just like all those movie screens, i thought that i could live my dreams

but i'm not now

this time, is something that you can't get back

and suddenly i'm twenty-two

my whole world is in my view, i can see it

and just like my mother told me to, i can do anything i wanna do

if i believe it, and i believe it

this time, it's something that you can't get back

slow down everybody's moving far too fast to see where they're going

and if we're feeling hopeless its cause we never notice what we have (what we have)

on and on the story goes, where it stops no one knows but me

on and on the story goes, where it stops no one knows but me

slow down everybody's moving far too fast to see where they're going

and if we're feeling hopeless it's cause we never notice what we have (what we have)

slow down, slow down

slow down, slow down

(on and on the story goes, where it stops no one knows but me)

slow down, slow down
