Seventeen

We fell in love when we were young
Oh, what a thing we've done
So many things we didn't know
Driving just to see how far we go
Life passes by, like a whisper
We lost our sight, too many times

Caught in a photograph we made
We were seventeen
Watching the colours as they fade
And all the while the faces stay the same
And yet, they never seem so strange to me, yeah
What do you say, let's just run away and do it again?

We'll get up early, you will leave
Get drunk on air and sea
You'll call in sick and then we'll go
Get back late and never tell a soul
Life passes by, like a whisper
How many times can we lose sight?

Caught in a photograph we made
We were seventeen
Watching the colours as they fade
And all the while the faces stay the same
And yet, they never seem so strange to me, yeah
What do you say, let's just run away and do it again?

If only I had told you more
I went and let you close that door
How did we get so lost?
How did we get so far?
It's not as easy as you'd think
You know I wouldn't change a thing
That's why we got so lost
That's why we got this far

Caught in a photograph we made
We were seventeen
Watching the colours as they fade
And all the while the faces stay the same
And yet, they never seem so strange to me, yeah
What do you say, let's just run away and do it again?
