|
We were just seventeen |
|
And all alone |
|
We had our hands in the gutter |
|
But our hearts in the warm clouds |
|
She said I know it's gonna hurt like hell |
|
But it's all right |
|
We were just seventeen and so in love |
|
I can see it that you're ready to go |
|
Like a bat in the cave of my soul |
|
We were owls barely escaping the day |
|
Another moment and we'd give it away |
|
We were just seventeen |
|
And so afraid |
|
We were balloons in the hands |
|
Of the mothers in the |
|
Jesus parade |
|
She said I know its gonna burn like fire but its all right |
|
We were just seventeen and so in love |
|
So in love, so in love, so in love , so in love |
|
We were owls when they came in the night |
|
They were looking for a creature to fight |
|
I can see it that you were ready to go |
|
Like a bat in the cave of my soul |
|
We had nothing but the blood on our hands |
|
We were sitting but were willing to stand |
|
We were owls barely escaping the day |
|
Another moment and we'd give it away |
|
We were owls when they came in the night |
|
They were looking for a creature to fight |
|
I can see it that you're ready to go |
|
Like a bat in the cave of my soul |
|
We had nothing but the blood on our hands |
|
We were sitting but willing to stand |
|
We were owls barely escaping the day |
|
Another moment and we give it away |
