| I remember sitting back
|
| cause you said you had something to say
|
| you told me that you had a secret yeah
|
| promised too keep it safe, I kept it for you
|
| And we talked and we laughed and we sat in the car and watched the world go past
|
| I tried to dissuade you but you’d made up your mind
|
| you were wise at seveteen
|
| and there was nothing I could do
|
| and there was nothing I could say
|
| I didn’t know why you asked me
|
| you gonna do it anyway
|
| everybody makes mistakes
|
| and everybody feels the same
|
| there was nothing i could do
|
| and there was nothing i could say
|
| they say you’ve grown up to fast
|
| that we acted young and foolishly
|
| I keep all this in mind when I recall the times
|
| I have to disagree
|
| I’ll be here for you
|
| and we talked and we laughed and we sat in the car and watched the world go past
|
| I tried to dissuade you
|
| but you know what you’re like
|
| you were wise at seventeen
|
| and there was nothing I could do
|
| and there was nothing I could say
|
| I didn’t know why you asked me
|
| you gonna do it anyway
|
| everybody makes mistakes
|
| and everybody feels the same
|
| there was nothing I could do
|
| and there was nothing I could say
|
| birds in the trees sing a song for me
|
| about being young and foolish and naive
|
| I haven’t changed that much from what I see
|
| I was only trying to make things right
|
| and we talked and we laughed and we sat in the car and watched the world go past
|
| I tried to dissuade you but you made up your mind
|
| you were wise at seventeen
|
| there was nothing I could do
|
| and there was nothing I could say
|
| I didn’t know why you asked me
|
| you gonna do it anyway
|
| everybody makes mistakes
|
| and everybody feels the same
|
| there was nothing I could do
|
| and there was nothing I could say |
