Through all the times that we would pretend, yeah Thought it's too late for happy endings now Playing roller hockey on my street, yeah, on the culdesac in my hometown My best friends they lived right up the street, yeah Feel like they all just out to get me now And I still remember my first kiss, yeah I got friends who starting families now Before I used to hit the weed, and school was all I ever cared about I think my younger self would hate me, tell him I've been goin through it lately Walked into the venue only silence till they pay me Man I think I'm goin crazy, yeah I still remember being 17, it was almost eighty months ago Then my classmates turn to memories, remember English class with Mrs. Powell Wayne came out with the Carter III, we used to bump that in the parking lot Picked up guitar when I was just thirteen, yeah Ten years later, hope they see me now As far as members of my family, yeah They either love me or they hate me now My life is straight out of a movie scene, yeah I hope they miss me when I'm not around Yearbook photos and the trophies I would dream 'bout touring off this music, only hoping You went off to college and since then we haven't spoken I heard you got a man you'll prolly marry now But I still remember 17 Really ain't too much that's differnt now No matter how much I try to forget, yeah Imma always try to make ya smile You live your like it was all a race, yeah Then you wonder how it all turns out It feels like something's always in the way, yeah You learn that winnings not the only route I fell for plenty girls back in the day, yeah But I never told 'em how I felt I told myself that I would play it safe, yeah I really only ever hurt myself There is a window of time Realized that I lost my mind Soon we'll be 30 with kids Feel like I don't have much time, I am not ready to die yet I still remember being 17 Wasn't a person who could talk me down Six years later now I'm 23, yeah Though deep inside I still feel like a child But I would do it all, do it all again Do it all, do it all again Do it all, do it all again right now
