"Seventeen" lyrics

We fell in love when we were young
Oh what a thing we've done
So many things we didn't know

Driving just to see how far we go
Life passes by, like a whisper
We lost our sight, too many times

Caught in a photograph we made, we were seventeen
Watching the colors as they fade
And all the while the faces stay the same
And yet they never seem so strange to me, yeah
Why don't you say we just run away, and do it again

We'll get up early and we'll leave
Get drunk on air and sea
You'll call in sick and then we'll go
Get back late and never tell a soul
Life passes by, like a whisper
How many times, can we lose sight?

Caught in a photograph we made, we were seventeen
Watching the colors as they fade
And all the while the faces stay the same
And yet they never seem so strange to me, yeah
Why don't you say we just run away, and do it again

If only I had told you more, I went and let you close that door
How did we get so lost?
How did we get so far?
Its not as easy as you'd think, You know I wouldn't change a thing
That's why we got so lost
That's why we got this far

Caught in a photograph we made, we were seventeen
Watching the colors as they fade
And all the while the faces stay the same
And yet they never seem so strange to me, yeah
Why don't you say we just run away, and do it again
