[VERONICA:]
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
[J.D.:]
Or they vanish
[VERONICA:]
And you're right, that really blows
But we let go..
[J.D.:]
Take a deep breath
[VERONICA:]
Then go buy some summer clothes
We'll go camping..
[J.D.:]
Play some poker
[VERONICA:]
And we'll eat some chili fries
Maybe prom night
[J.D.:]
Maybe dancing
[VERONICA:]
Don't stop looking in my eyes
[J.D.:]
Your eyes
[VERONICA:]
Can't we be seventeen
Is that so hard to do?
[BOTH:]
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right
[VERONICA:]
So what's it gonna be?
I wanna be with you
[J.D.:]
I wanna be with you
[VERONICA:]
Wanna be with you
[BOTH:]
Tonight
[VERONICA:]
Yeah we're damaged
[J.D.:]
Badly damaged
[BOTH:]
But your love's too good to lose
[VERONICA:]
Hold me tighter
[J.D.:]
Even closer
[VERONICA:]
I'll stay if I'm what you choose
[J.D.:]
Can we be seventeen?
[VERONICA:]
If I am what you choose
[J.D.:]
If we've still got the right
[VERONICA:]
'Cause you're the one I choose
[J.D.:]
You're the one I choose
[BOTH:]
You're the one I choose
