~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's things you'd rather keep inside,
i won't ask you 'bout 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
