17 - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I asked her at a quarter to three

I told her Coca-Cola is free

Its okay, I'm alright, you okay

Come and spend the night?

We jumped into the mystical sea

I told her "leave the rest up to me"

And we swam and we kissed and we sunk into eternity

I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream

Breaking up is hard to do when you're seventeen

She handed me a note casually

She said "meet me at a quarter to three"

So I went there alone and stood outside her history

It hit me like a punch in the face

She said that we should go our own ways

I didn't cry, I didn't smile

I didn't die, I just faded away

I never knew that the heart could break and the love could be so mean

My heart stopped beating when I was seventeen

I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream

Breaking up is hard to do when you're seventeen

A couple of days later gone by

Started getting back my appe-petite

So I cut me a piece of old fashioned american pie

I asked her out a quarter to three

Wish I knew that n-n-nothing is free

Say hello, say goodbye to the day that the summertime died

I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream

Life can be crazy when you're seventeen
