Seventeen

Ooh ooh ooh ooh o o o [x4]

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 [x4]
