It was the year of 91 Freddy Mercury was gone And Nevermind was playing on our radios We were only 17 I would park out on your street Way for doctors see you climbing out of the window Something's gone wrong with the weather There's a storm out in the desert But to us that all seemed very far away
Sometimes, when I Think about those days it makes me wonder What went by Oh yeah, left me breathless She was so damn wild Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Ohh) We were young and reckless Too soon, out of time Next time I'm 17 I won't be left behind She will still be mine She will still be mine
While the Iron Curtain fell We were lying in a field Shared the gin and cigarettes I'd stolen from my dad We both knew what would happen next In my cherry-wooden axe Did she know she was the best I'd ever had Said we'd always be together That we'd stay this way forever The future seemed so very far away
Sometimes, when I Think about those days it makes me wonder What went by Oh yeah, left me breathless She was so damn wild Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Ohh) We were young and reckless Too soon, out of time Next time I'm 17 I won't be left behind She will still be mine
You must be married now In some suburban house Are you happy now? Do you ever think back to those times? It was so innocent Do you ever need me in your mind?
Oh yeah, she left me breathless She was so damn wild Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. We were young and reckless Too soon, out of time Next time I'm 17 I won't be left behind She will still be mine
(Oh yeah, she was) She will still be mine (Sometimes) Still be mine (Best days of our lives)
We were young and reckless Too soon, out of time Next time I'm 17 I won't be left behind She will still be mine
