[Verse 1]

Seventeen

I just wanted to be in love

My very own whale song

My one true hum

[Verse 2]

I call for you

Across the hill and valley too

I put out a dream

I hope it reaches you

[Chorus]

Lay on my back

Feel your face in the cloud

Time is fickle in the space it allows

It could be 24 hours till I see you

[Verse 3]

Eighteen

Wading through the sea of love

Has become a chore

A bore without you

[Verse 4]

The alphabet

Has everything you mean to me

When you align four letters

Perfectly

[Chorus]

Lay on my back

Feel your face in the cloud

Time is fickle in the space it allows

It could be 24 hours till I see you

[Verse 5]

What if I miss you at a highlight

Or at a stoplight

I’ll know, I’ll know

I’ll know, I’ll know

Will I miss you at the first light

Or at first sight

I’ll know, I’ll know, I’ll know

[Chorus]

Lay on my back

Feel your face in the cloud

Time is fickle in the space it allows

It could be 24 hours till I see you

Lay on my back

Our time is fickle in the space it allows

It could be 24 hours till I see you

See you, see you
