17

Rowing the campground up by the lake where we swam

We were hunting for snakes

But we couldn't find them

Surrounded by nothing but the nothing's surrounded by us

But it's just me in my room

With my eyes shut

Oh when I was seventeen

My mother said to me

Don't stop imagining

The day that you do is the day that you die

Now I pull a one ton carriage

Instead of the horses grazing the lawn

And I was having fun

We were all having fun

My brain can think faster than I can but not fast enough

Who is there to talk to

That won't lock me up?

At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that I mind

The snakes I couldn't find

I don't want to find

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh when I was seventeen

My mother said to me

Don't stop imagining

The day that you do is the day that you die

Now I pull a one ton carriage

Instead of the horses grazing the lawn

And I was having fun

We were all having fun

Oh when I was seventeen

My mother said to me

Don't stop imagining

The day that you do is the day that you die

Now I pull a one ton carriage

Instead of the horses grazing the lawn

And I was having fun

We were all having fun
