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.
Told you I just got out of something
You said you just did too
Couldn't drag me back in love for nothing
Last thing on earth I'd ever do
Cause it never works
Someone always gets hurt
Why would I ever do that again?
But now I can't even sleep
I'm seventeen in my head
I'm starting to think that I just might be obsessed
I am in two steps too deep
A hundred miles too far gone
How did I catch what I was running away from
It was the last thing I wanted, now it's all I want
I was gonna move on in my own time
Just take a minute for myself
Just one look at you and in no time
I couldn't see anything else
And now I can't even sleep
I'm seventeen in my head
I'm starting to think that I just might be obsessed
I am in two steps too deep
A hundred miles too far gone
How did I catch what I was running away from
It was the last thing I wanted, now it's all I want
Yeah cause it never works
Someone always gets hurt
Swore I'd never go through that again
But now I can't even sleep
I'm seventeen in my head
I'm starting to think that I just might be obsessed
I am in two steps too deep
A hundred miles too far gone
How did I catch what I was running away from
It was the last thing I wanted, now it's all I want
It's all I want
You're all I want
