I was only trying to keep the walls 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 trying to keep the walls 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 would never be the same again
|
|
I was only trying to keep the walls 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 are things you would 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 trying to keep the walls 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
