"17" lyrics

There you go just sitting there
You're never satisfied
And you know you don't care
Even though you tried
You're caught up in a moment
In a state of mind
You're just looking for something
That feels like the first time

We were only kids back then
All the things that could have been

It's too late
Too much time has passed with nothing in between
It's OK
Looking back will only cost you everything
It's such a shame for you, my dear
It's something that you should have seen
It's never gonna be the way it was
When we were 17

And no, that's still not good enough
You're the stubborn kind
You'll never get what you're dreaming of
In a static life
You're caught up in a moment
In a state of mind
You're still looking for something
You swear that it's the last time

We were young and stupid then
Everything comes to an end

It's too late
Too much time has passed with nothing in between
It's OK
Looking back will only cost you everything
It's such a shame for you, my dear
It's something that you should have seen
It's never gonna be the way it was
When we were 17

Yea, you're holding on
To a moment that's gone
I hope you understand
What's come to pass came to an end

It's too late
Too much time has passed with nothing in between
It's OK
Looking back will only cost you everything
It's such a shame for you, my dear
It's something that you should have seen
Cause it's never gonna be the way it was
When we were 17

(It's too late, it's too late, it's too late)
When we were 17
(It's too late, it's too late, it's too late)
