Verse 1]
We were small-town kids on a Friday night,
Stars on the windshield, hearts in the lights.
You said forever like you meant the words,
But forever slipped away, unheard.
Every corner of this little town,
Still whispers your name when I drive around.
I thought leaving would set me free,
But all roads circle back to me.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You loved me wild, but you let me go,
Now I’m just a ghost in the afterglow.
⸻
[Chorus]
Take me back to seventeen,
Where the world was wide, and our hearts could dream.
Every song was ours, every kiss was new,
Every sky was painted in shades of you.
But the clock moved fast, and the years flew by,
We lost the fire, we lost the sky.
Still, I close my eyes, and I see the scene,
You and me, back to seventeen.
⸻
[Verse 2]
I wear my heartbreak like an old tattoo,
Faded but still a part of you.
Photographs in a dusty box,
Memories I can’t keep locked.
Sometimes I wonder if you think of me,
When the night is quiet, do you ever see?
That girl who laughed with her whole soul,
Before goodbye made her heart grow cold.
⸻
[Bridge]
Ohhh, we burned like fireworks in the sky,
Too bright, too soon, but it felt so right.
And even though we’ve gone separate ways,
I’ll replay that song for the rest of my days.
⸻
[Chorus – bigger / emotional]
Take me back to seventeen,
Where the world was wide, and our hearts could dream.
Every song was ours, every kiss was new,
Every sky was painted in shades of you.
But the clock moved fast, and the years flew by,
We lost the fire, we lost the sky.
Still, I close my eyes, and I see the scene,
You and me, back to seventeen.
⸻
[Outro – soft, acoustic]
Seventeen…
Seventeen…
Still chasing the ghost of what we’ve been…
Back to seventeen.
