next time i'm seventeen
It was the year of 91 Freddy Mercury was gone And Nevermind was playing on our radios We were only Seventeen I would park out on your street Wait for dark to see you climbing out your window Something's gone wrong with the weather There's a storm out in the desert But to us that all seemed very far away Sometimes, when I Think about those days it makes me wonder What went by Oh yeah, left me breathless She was so damn wild Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives (Ohh) We were young and reckless Too soon, out of time Next time I'm Seventeen I won't be left behind She would still be mine She would still be mine While the Iron Curtain fell We were lying in a field Shared the gin and cigarettes I'd stolen from my dad We both knew what would happen next In my cherry red AX Did she know she was the best I'd ever had Said we'd always be together That we'd stay this way forever The future seemed so very far away Sometimes, when I Think about those days it makes me wonder What went by Oh yeah, left me breathless She was so damn wild Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives (Ohh) We were young and reckless Too soon, out of time Next time I'm Seventeen I won't be left behind She would still be mine You must be married now In some suburban house Are you happy now? Do you ever think back to those times? It was so innocent Do you ever meet me in your mind? Oh yeah, she left me breathless She was so damn wild Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives We were young and reckless Too soon, out of time Next time I'm Seventeen I won't be left behind She would still be mine (Oh yeah, she was) She'd still be mine (Sometimes) Still be mine (Best days of our lives) We were young and reckless Too soon, out of time Next time I'm Seventeen I won't be left behind She would still be mine
