Oh I was seventeen when I heard the countdown start

It started slowly, and I thought it was my heart

But then I realised, this time it was for real

There was no place to hide, I had to go out and feel

But there was time to kill, I walked my way around town

I tried to love the world, but the world just got me down

Oh so I looked for you in every street of every town

I wanted to see your face, I wanna, I wanna see you now

Yeah I wanna see you now

Oh and so it went, so it went for several years

I couldn't stand it, oh, it must be getting near

Oh no you just don't know, no you just don't understand

How many times I've seen you in the arms of some other man

I've got to meet you and find you and take you by the hand

My God, my God, you've got to understand that I was seventeen

I didn't know a thing at all

I've got no reason, no reason at all oh no

Time of my life, I think you came too soon

You came too soon baby

And it could be tonight, if I ever leave this room

I never leave this room

Oh, oh, oh, I wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down

Get down

Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town

So, I'm gonna gonna go, really, bye bye

Yeah you can leave me, you can go some other place

You can forget it, well that's ok

Because I own this town, I brought it to its knees

Can you hear it crying yeah?

Can you hear it begging to me "Please?"

I know it's coming so soon now, it's on it's way

Oh no my God, my God, I can hear them say

They say it's all a lie, they say I'll never leave the ground

They say I can't survive, and it's coming down

Oh baby now please

Time of my life, I think you came too soon

Yeah you came too soon baby

And it could be tonight if I ever leave this room

I never leave this room

Oh, oh, oh, wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down

Get down, ah

Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town

So I'm gonna go yeah really bye bye

OK, you don't have to care

Really really I swear

You're nothing, you're nothing to me

And if I messed it up babe then, then that's all up to me

And if you go, then I won't follow no

Cause so many times I've been thinking, I've been thinking maybe I should

No, I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna make my way

I'm gonna get on through, babe

I'm gonna make it home some day

Oh, baby now time of my life, I think you came too soon

Yeah you came too soon baby

And it could be tonight if I ever leave this room

I never ever leave this room

Oh, oh, oh wasted all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down

Get down ah

Oh and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town

And I'm gonna leave this town, oh baby now

Sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town

Yeah I'm gonna leave this town, oh baby now

Sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town

And this time, this time, I'm gonna go

I'm gonna leave this time

Am I gonna hang around no

Sky and fire and moon and fire never, ever, land

Uh uh oh! Uh oh!

Me and stars and the Moon are falling down
