lyrics

When you were seventeen
You were old as the air
And you would laugh as the sun's glare would play through tangles in your hair
When I was seventeen
I was still a kid
And I was mystified by all the things you did

So come around this way again
I want to see you in your summer clothes
I want to show you that I'm worth a try
I want to show you what I got
I want to show you now

Dressed to the nines
Sweet as aspartame
Your eyes explode like dynamite
You're faster than a hurricane
We've got this world backed into a corner
It's ours for the taking all we need is the final count

You are just always running
You never stop to see what's chasing you
You never change your pace
You never stop to see what you're running to

So slow down and just enjoy tonight
Lose yourself in the glow of the countless neon lights
Everything's a blur in this dark town
But you can take it all and turn it upside down

We've got endless possibilities
We talk with words that are never spoken
We run the night and dream about infinity
Yeah we have our eyes wide open
With fingertips as soft as ashes
Whispers sharp as lightning flashes
We're the king and queen of the junkyard
We're covered in bruises and scars
We're the nightmares that no one ever speaks
