17 & Young

You don't have to say a word
I know why you're standing here

In the porch light with those tears

For a while you've tried to find the words

To tell me what I already fear

Chorus

But we were just 17 and young

Thought we had it all figured out

Running wild, chasing the sun

17 and young

Now the summer's gone, and so are we

But I'll remember you and me

At 17 and young

I gave you my heart, you gave me yours

We thought forever was in store

But life had other plans

We had to let go of each other's hands

Chorus

But we were just 17 and young

Thought we had it all figured out

Running wild, chasing the sun

17 and young

Now the summer's gone, and so are we

But I'll remember you and me

At 17 and young

Bridge

Years have passed, but the memories remain

Of that love, that sweet pain

We were young, we were free

That's how I'll remember you and me
