We were only seventeen Rock and roll and nicotine Girls meet boys And boys meet girls It felt like you were my whole world Until it falls apart Left with broken hearts
We were only seventeen I was standing there in my blue jeans She smiled and walked past me And our love was like a spark to gasoline And it was you and me We were only seventeen Made such a mess of everything Souvenirs and broken dreams And photographs of you and me When we were only seventeen
We were watching MTV Staying up ‘til a quarter after three And the world was ours for the taking Time stood still, our hearts were racing But it falls apart Left with broken hearts
We were only seventeen I was standing there in my blue jeans She smiled and walked past me And our love was like a spark to gasoline And it was you and me We were only seventeen Made such a mess of everything Souvenirs and broken dreams And photographs of you and me When we were only seventeen
Do you believe that a canvas can be painted twice? Painted white Do you believe that a canvas can be painted twice? Painted white
Wash away the guilt and shame And take my hand and steal my pain And I find rest inside your arms from all the memories Do you believe? Do you believe?
