Seventeen

Look at those lights behind the trees

Don't the highway sound like the ocean?

Lookin' at you right next to me

The stillness feels like emotion

I got the feelin'

You got the feelin'

Don't you know what I mean?

Giddy like high school down by the pool

At the hotel in Reseda

If I didn't know all the things you've done

I swear that I need ya

I got the feelin'

You got the feelin'

But I know where you've been

I wish I'd met you when I was seventeen

Before I'd seen the things that I've seen

Before I learned to look behind the screen

I think we coulda had a good time

Well, I used to get down in any town

Any time I got the notion

Follow each girl to the end of the world

You know, I never looked down

Now I'm up above with a feelin' of love

I got my arms around you

With the weight of the band on my left hand

You know it keeps me on the ground

Baby, I got the feelin'

You got the feelin'

Don't you know what I mean?

I wish I'd met you when I was seventeen

Before I kept my hands so clean

Before you went and made some fool your queen

I think we coulda had a good time
