Seventeen

from Best Laid Plans by Contraplans

/

lyrics

She poured forth
All her doubts
And trusted I would
Take the time to understand
I'd never been the one
To lean on
When your down
But i'd read Huxley
And 1984
And quoted unannounced
Was not inclined to comprehend
Instead of helping
We just dragged each other down
But being down
Is part of growing up

We said no one
Will make us laugh anymore
We said no one
Will make us open up
We missed the irony again

We walked round
Talking tough
Shouting poetry
We'd never understand
Downing drinks to break on
Through to the other side
We never made it
Further than the offy
For a second helping
Stashing beers in bushes
We never found the answers ‘cause
The questions went un-asked
And now I laugh at how

We said no one
Will make us laugh anymore
We said no one
Will make us open up
We said no one
Will make us laugh anymore
We said no one
Will make us open up

But i'm not sad
At least
In the traditional sense
‘cause given half the chance
I'd do it all again

We said no one
Will make us laugh anymore
We said no one
Will make us open up
We said no one
Will make us laugh anymore
We said no one
Will make us open up
We Said
Wish I was seventeen
We Said
Wish I was seventeen
We Said
Wish I was seventeen
We Said
Wish I was seventeen again
