We were 17 and invincible Had the world figured out And the girl on my shoulder told me "everything's gon' be alright" (whoah-oh) And everything was gonna be alright (whoah-oh) Yeah maybe we were in highschool But you never see the ending When you're young in love pretending singin' Everything's gon' be alright (whoah-oh) And everything was gonna be alright (whoah-oh)
Buried her deep inside Stars stuck in my eyes
And now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rockband Guess nothing really ever goes the way it's planned Yeah, she's in Ohio And I'm on some back road Driving to the city and then who knows Guess that's all she wrote I wish that I could turn this car around But she's got a boyfriend now
Then I, took a trip out to L.A For the girl with a smile That could take your breath away, I'm thinkin' Everything's gon' be alright (whoah-oh) And everything was gonna be alright (whoah-oh) Maybe I thought I could sweep in And sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston Thinkin' everything's gon' be alright (whoah-oh) And everything was gonna be alright
The streets keep rolling on But now she's so far gone
And now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rockband Guess nothing really ever goes the way it's planned Yeah, she's on the west coast And I'm on some back road Driving to the city and then who knows Guess that's all she wrote I wish that I could turn this car around But she's got a boyfriend now
Take me back to you somehow, With everything that I know now It's so hard, I tore us apart Take me back to feeling like the world Would just keep dealing me the right cards, Now you're just so far
And I'm 23 and and invincible Got the world figured out And the bird on my shoulder told me "everything's gon' be alright" (whoah-oh) But is everything gon' be alright?
And now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rockband Guess nothing really ever goes the way it's planned Yeah, she's in Ohio And I'm on some back road Driving to the city and then who knows Guess that's all she wrote I wish that I could turn this car around But she's got a boyfriend now
I wish that I could turn this car around 'cause there she goes I wish that I could press rewind somehow 'cause she's got a boyfriend now
(Take your, take your, breath breath breath away I'll take your, take your, breath breath breath away)
