I remember sitting back |
|
'Cause you said you had something to say |
|
You told me that you had a secret yeah, yeah |
|
Promised to keep it safe, I kept it for you |
|
And we talked and we laughed and we sat in the car |
|
And watched the world go past |
|
I tried to dissuade you but you made up your mind |
|
You were wise at seventeen |
|
There was nothing I could do |
|
And there was nothing I could say |
|
I didn't know why you asked me, you were gonna do it anyway |
|
Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody feels the same |
|
There was nothing I could do |
|
And there was nothing I could say |
|
They say you've grown up to fast |
|
That we acted young and foolishly |
|
I keep all this in mind when i recall the times |
|
I'd have to disagree |
|
I'll be here for you |
|
And we talked and we laughed and we sat in the car |
|
And watched the world go past |
|
I tried to dissuade you but you know what you're like |
|
You were wise at seventeen |
|
There was nothing I could do |
|
And there was nothing I could say |
|
I didn't know why you asked me, you were gonna do it anyway |
|
Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody feels the same |
|
There was nothing I could do |
|
And there was nothing I could say |
|
Birds in the trees sing a song for me |
|
About being young and fooling and naive |
|
I haven't changed that much from what I see |
|
I was only trying to make things right |
|
And we talked and we laughed and we sat in the car |
|
And watched the world go past |
|
I tried to dissuade you but you made up your mind |
|
You were wise at seventeen |
|
There was nothing I could do |
|
And there was nothing I could say |
|
I didn't know why you asked me, you were gonna do it anyway |
|
Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody feels the same |
|
There was nothing I could do |
|
And there was nothing I could say |
