Fine, we're damaged, really damaged
But that does not make us wise
We're not special, we're not different
We don't choose who lives or dies

Let's be normal, see bad movies
Sneak a beer and watch TV
We'll bake brownies or go bowling
Don't you want a life with me?

Can't we be seventeen?
That's all I want to do
If you could let me in
I could be good with you

People hurt us (or they vanish)
And you're right, that really blows
But we let go (take a deep breath)
Then go buy some summer clothes

We'll go camping (play some poker)
And we'll eat some chili fries
Maybe prom night, maybe dancing
Don't stop looking in my eyes (your eyes)

Can't we be seventeen?
Is that so hard to do?
If you could let me in
I could be good with you

Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right
So what's it gonna be?
I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
Tonight

Yeah, we're damaged (badly damaged)
But your love's too good to lose
Hold me tighter, even closer
I'll stay if I'm what you choose

Can we be seventeen?
If I am what you choose
If we still have the right

'Cause you're the one I choose
You're the one I choose
You're the one I choose
