Lyrics
Seventeen
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh o o o
Look at those lights behind the trees
don't the highway sound like the ocean?
Lookin' at you right next to me
the stillness feels like emotion.
I got the feelin'
You got the feelin'
Don't you know what I mean?
We're giddy like high school down by the pool
at the hotel in the sea.
If I didn't know all the things you done
I'd swear that I need ya.
I got the feelin'
You got the feelin'
But I know where you been.
I wish I would have met you
when I was seventeen.
Before I seen the things that I seen.
Before I learned to look behind the screen.
I think we could have had a good time.
Well I used to get down in any town
any time I got the notion.
Follow each girl to the end of the world
no, I never looked down.
Now I'm up above with a feelin' of love
I got my arms around you.
And the weight of the band on my left hand
you know it keeps me on the ground.
I got the feelin'
You got the feelin'
Don't you know what I mean?
I wish I'd met you
when I was seventeen.
Before I kept my hands so clean.
Before you went and made some fool your queen.
I think we could have had a good time.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh o o o
