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 we be seventeen?
If I am what you choose
If we still have the right
'Cause you're the one I choose
You're the one I choose
You're the one I choose
