(Verse 1)
My friends keep saying, “Get over her,”
Like I ain’t been trying to.
Like I can wake up tomorrow morning
And choose not to think of you.
Found some old texts the other night,
Should’ve left ’em where they were.
Read ’em back and laughed to myself,
Like, “What the fuck were you doing?”
Thought every smile meant something,
Thought every word was a sign.
Looking back I swear I wasted
Way too much damn time.
(Pre-Chorus)
Thought I’d leave it in the past,
Guess the past had other plans.
Crazy how one stupid crush
Still gets me every now and then.
(Chorus)
I wish I only thought of you as a friend,
Maybe then this story would’ve ended.
Maybe I’d hear your name
And nothing in me would change.
Maybe we’d still laugh,
Maybe we’d still be like then.
God, I wish…
I only thought of you as a friend.
Most days I’m alright,
Most days I don’t think back then.
But every now and then…
I’m seventeen again.
⸻
(Verse 2)
Met you through your brother,
Never thought it’d get this far.
Started out as nothing,
Then you somehow changed my heart.
Hell, I can’t even tell you
When everything switched.
One day you were just my friend,
Next thing I couldn’t quit.
Tried telling myself I’d move on,
Tried saying I’d be fine.
Funny how your own damn heart
Never listens to your mind.
Now I read those old messages,
Shake my head and grin.
Half of me can’t believe that kid…
Half remembers being him.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Thought I’d leave it in the past,
Guess the past had other plans.
Crazy how one stupid crush
Still gets me every now and then.
⸻
(Chorus)
I wish I only thought of you as a friend,
Maybe then this story would’ve ended.
Maybe I’d hear your name
And nothing in me would change.
Maybe we’d still laugh,
Maybe we’d still be like then.
God, I wish…
I only thought of you as a friend.
Most days I’m alright,
Most days I don’t think back then.
But every now and then…
I’m seventeen again.
⸻
(Bridge)
If I could roll back time…
I’d find that kid.
Pull up next to him.
Roll the window down.
Look him dead in the eyes…
And laugh.
“Kid…
What the fuck are you doing?”
⸻
(Final Chorus)
I wish I only thought of you as a friend,
Maybe then this story would’ve ended.
Maybe I’d hear your name
And nothing in me would change.
Maybe we’d still laugh,
Maybe we’d still be like then.
Most days I’m alright,
Most days I don’t think back then.
But every now and then…
I read those old damn texts.
Laugh at myself.
Shake my head.
And somehow…
I’m seventeen again.
