Now and again, I think about that night

Stumbled in heels

Wanted to reach your eyes

When I was young, I walked away

Before anyone could

Because I was so goddamn sure they would

I watched you dance the whole night

Don’t know why they say this is the best night of your life

Don’t know why they say this is the one time it’ll all feel right

Can’t believe I stayed so long

To drive home alone

While everyone left to race God in the streets

Guess you want what you didn’t get

Growing up

And you pray for a bit of it knowing love

Isn’t something you really know

I watched you dance the whole night

Don’t know why they say this is the best night of your life

Don’t know why they say this is the one time it’ll all feel right

Can’t tell you how small the world feels when you’re 17
