Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wait
Oh, oh
Wait
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
We were seventeen and invincible
Had the world figured out
And the girl on my shoulder told me
"Everything's gon' be alright"
(Whoa, oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa, oh)
[Verse 3]
Yeah, maybe we were in high school
But you never see the ending
When you're young and not pretending
Singin', everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa, oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
[Verse 4]
Buried her deep inside
Stars stuck in my eyes
[Verse 5]
And now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
'Cause nothing ever really goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's in Ohio
And I'm on some back road
Drivin to the city and then who knows
'Cause that's all she wrote
[Verse 6]
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh
Wait
Oh, oh
[Verse 8]
Then I took a trip out to L.A.
For the girl with the smile that could take your breath away
I'm thinkin' everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa, oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa, oh)
[Verse 9]
Maybe I thought I could sweep in
And sweep her off her feet
And go right back to Boston
Thinkin' everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa, oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
[Verse 10]
These streets keep rollin' on
But, now she's so far gone
[Verse 11]
Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
'Cause nothing ever really goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's on the west coast
And I'm on some back road
Drivin to the city and then who knows
'Cause that's all she wrote
[Verse 12]
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now
[Verse 13]
Let's take it back to years from now
With everything that I know now
It's so hard
I tore us apart
Take it back to feelin'
Like the world would just keep dealin' me the right cards
Now you're just so far and I'm
[Verse 14]
I'm twenty-three and invincible
Got the world figured out
And the bird on my shoulder told me
"Everything's gon' be alright"
(Whoa, oh)
And when is everything gon' be alright?
[Verse 15]
And now she's got a boyfirend
And I've got a rock band
'Cause nothing ever really goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's in Ohio
And I'm on some back road
Drivin' to the city and then who knows
'Cause that's all she wrote
[Verse 16]
I wish that I could turn this car around
'Cause there she goes (She goes)
I wish that I could press rewind somehow (How)
'Cause she's got a boyfriend now
[Verse 17]
(Oh, oh)
Wait
(Oh, oh)
She's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
Wait
(Oh, oh)
'Cause she's got a boyfriend now
[Verse 18]
Take it
Oh, oh
Wait
Take it back to where you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Take it
Wait
Take it back to where you
Oh, oh
'Cause she's got a boyfriend now
