Teenagers Like to Sleep

Walking to art class, saw you in the hall We were, just fourteen, but I knew we'd have it all High school sweetheart first kiss, under the stars Favorite pastime Laying down with you outside Close my eyes and sleep when I wake you're still there with me And we're only 17 and we like to sleep I hope I never wake from this dream When we're only 17 I was there waiting where you said you would be But you never showed up your car took you from me Went home, crying I couldn't fall asleep So many sleepless nights staring at the ceiling, thinking Now so many years have passed between And when I sleep I dream And we're only 17 and we like to sleep I hope I never wake from this dream And we're only 17And you're still with me Laying there I run my fingers through your hair And we're only 17 Now I've settled for another And I live a life I love But when I close my eyes and you're still there with me I know I'd give it all away Just to be 17 When we're only 17 and you're still with me Laying there, I run my fingers through your hair And we're only 17
