"17 Again" lyrics

In the days long ago somewhere I don't know
There was hardly a key in my head
So I went on my way turning nights to days
Wherever the winding road lead

As I basked in the joys of the carnival noise
And surrendered myself to their parade
The sun kissed the girls in this brave new world
Then they danced as the marching band played

Let's make tonight like we will never see another summer
And we're seventeen again
Let's make tonight like we will never see another summer
And it's almost at the end

As my vision expired, I awoke from desire
And my eyes they were blind to the light
Looking down at my shoes beneath the greens and blues
Of a Finnieston skyline at night

Let's make tonight like we will never see another summer
And we're seventeen again
Let's make tonight like we will never see another summer
And it's almost at the end

Let's make tonight like we will never see another summer
And we're seventeen again
Let's make tonight like we will never see another summer
And it's almost at the end

What profits a thing for an idle king
Who rules half the world on his own
Great cities of men, we can roam again
Whilst he sits there alone on his throne

Let's make tonight like we will never see another summer
And we're seventeen again
Let's make tonight like we have only one hour left together
And it's almost at the end

Let's make tonight like we will never see another summer
And we're seventeen again
Let's make tonight like we will never see another summer
And it's almost at the end
