I Was Only Seventeen
I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
I was only waiting 'round for something to begin
I was only seventeen
I told you that it didn't mean a thing...
Feels like a million years ago
Small town where everybody knows
Everything about everybody else
Way back when there wasn't you and me
I guess I was still naive
And the moment was as far as I could see
I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
I was only waiting 'round for something to begin
I was only seventeen
I told you that it didn't mean a thing...
Why can't you just love me?
Please, don't push too hard
The truth you think you're after
Might just break your heart
Someone who I thought was my friend
But sometimes people just pretend
And I will never be the same again
I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
I was only waiting 'round for something to begin
I was only seventeen
I told you that it didn't mean a thing...
Why can't you just love me?
Please, don't push too hard
The truth you think you're after
Might just break your heart
I'm sure there's things you'd rather keep inside
I won't ask you about all the things you've tried
Don't let yesterday get in the way
Why can't we just start from where we are?
I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
I was only waiting 'round for something to begin
I was only seventeen
I told you that it didn't mean a thing...
Why can't you just love me?
Please, don't push too hard
The truth you think you're after
Might just break my heart....
Solo tenía diecisiete años
Solo estaba tratando de evitar que la pared se cerrara
Solo estaba esperando algo que comenzara
Solo tenía diecisiete años
Te dije que no significaba nada...
Se siente como si hubieran pasado un millón de años
Pueblo pequeño donde todos se conocen
Todo sobre todos los demás
En aquel entonces no existía tú y yo
Supongo que aún era ingenuo
Y el momento era lo más lejos que podía ver
Solo estaba tratando de evitar que la pared se cerrara
Solo estaba esperando algo que comenzara
Solo tenía diecisiete años
Te dije que no significaba nada...
¿Por qué no puedes simplemente amarme?
Por favor, no presiones demasiado
La verdad que crees buscar
Podría romper tu corazón
Alguien que pensé que era mi amigo
Pero a veces la gente solo finge
Y nunca volveré a ser el mismo
Solo estaba tratando de evitar que la pared se cerrara
Solo estaba esperando algo que comenzara
Solo tenía diecisiete años
Te dije que no significaba nada...
¿Por qué no puedes simplemente amarme?
Por favor, no presiones demasiado
La verdad que crees buscar
Podría romper tu corazón
Estoy seguro de que hay cosas que preferirías mantener dentro
No te preguntaré por todas las cosas que has intentado
No dejes que el ayer se interponga
¿Por qué no podemos simplemente empezar desde donde estamos?
Solo estaba tratando de evitar que la pared se cerrara
Solo estaba esperando algo que comenzara
Solo tenía diecisiete años
Te dije que no significaba nada...
¿Por qué no puedes simplemente amarme?
Por favor, no presiones demasiado
La verdad que crees buscar
Podría romper mi corazón....
