Seventeen

I was a runaway and you were a queen
Our tongues tied in the mezzanine
We were free
No strings on you, no strings on me
I was a cannonball and you were the sea
When I crashed into your blue dream
We were free
Time takes no prisoners, you'll see

When you're seventeen
The thought of a spark could start a fire
Tube top and faded jeans
How we forget how we desire

We were seventeen, seventeen
We had city dreams, city dreams
We were seventeen, seventeen
We had city dreams, city dreams

I was a runaway and you were a jewel
It was paradise in the land of fools
We were free
No strings on you, no strings on me
Free
Time takes no prisoners, you'll see

When you're seventeen
The thought of a spark could start a fire
Tube top and faded jeans
How we forget how we desire

We were seventeen, seventeen
We had city dreams, city dreams
We were seventeen, seventeen
We had city dreams, city dreams
