We were only seventeen
Rock and roll and nicotine
Girls meet boys
And boys meet girls
It felt like you were my whole world
Until it falls apart
Left with broken hearts

We were only seventeen
I was standing there in my blue jeans
She smiled and walked past me
And our love was like a spark to gasoline
And it was you and me
We were only seventeen
Made such a mess of everything
Souvenirs and broken dreams
And photographs of you and me
When we were only seventeen

We were watching MTV
Staying up 'til a quarter after three
And the world was ours for the taking
Time stood still, our hearts were racing
But it falls apart
Left with broken hearts

We were only seventeen
I was standing there in my blue jeans
She smiled and walked past me
And our love was like a spark to gasoline
And it was you and me
We were only seventeen
Made such a mess of everything
Souvenirs and broken dreams
And photographs of you and me
When we were only seventeen

Do you believe that a canvas can be painted twice'
Painted white
Do you believe that a canvas can be painted twice'
Painted white

Wash away the guilt and shame
And take my hand and steal my pain
And I find rest inside your arms from all the memories
Do you believe'
Do you believe'

We were only seventeen
Made such a mess of everything
Souvenirs and broken dreams
And photographs of you and me
When we were only seventeen

We were only seventeen
I was standing there in my blue jeans
She smiled and walked past me
And our love was like a spark to gasoline
And it was you and me
We were only seventeen
Made such a mess of everything
Souvenirs and broken dreams
And photographs of you and me
When we were only seventeen
