Fine!
We’re “damaged”
Really “damaged”
But that does not make us “wise”
We’re not “special”, we’re not “different”
We don’t choose who lives or dies
Let’s be normal, see bad movies
Sneak a beer and watch TV
We’ll bake brownies or go bowling
Don’t you want a life with me?
Can’t we be seventeen?
That’s all I want to do
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
People hurt us
Or they vanish
And you’re right, that really blows
But we let go—
Take a deep breath
Then go buy some summer clothes
We'll go camping—
Play some poker
And we’ll eat some chili fries
Maybe prom night
Maybe dancing
Don't stop looking in my eyes
Your eyes
Can't we be seventeen
Is that so hard to do?
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right
So what’s it gonna be?
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
Tonight
Yeah we’re damaged
Badly damaged
But your love’s too good to lose
Hold me tighter
Even closer
I’ll stay if I’m what you choose
Can't we be seventeen?
If I am what you choose
If we've still got the right
‘Cause you’re the one I choose
You’re the one I choose
You’re the one I choose
