I Was Only (Seventeen)
'I was only tryin to keep the wall 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
(Chorus)
I was only tryin to keep the wall 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 will never be the same again
(Chorus)
I was only tryin to keep the wall 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 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?
(Chorus)
I was only tryin to keep the wall 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....'
Decisions
Don't just go from one nest to the next
Mama said to me
It's not where you go or where you left.
It's the flying in-between.
She said be sure to touch the sky
Don't put your dreams up on a shelf
Right now you're lost inside his eyes
I made the same myself. Oooh.
Am I in love?
Am I too young?
I know my life has just begun.
Does he set me free?
Or put me in chains?
When did my life get rearranged.
Do I hold on? Do I let go?
I know I can't escape tomorrow.
Do I live for him? Or live for today?
Suddenly the sky looks far away.
I can see the wheels turn in his mind.
The way he looks at me.
He says our kids will have my eyes.
And what a mother I would be.
Does this all have to move so fast.
Can't I just take it day by day?
Am I building something that will last?
Or am I just running away?
Do I wanna go from being
Somebody's daughter to
Somebody's wife to
Somebody's mother
I need my own life.
I though my mother's life turned out as planned
But I never knew.
Now that I'm grown I understand.
All the things she longed to do.
I've got to make it on my own.
But I just can't leave him behind.
So do I risk being alone
What is it I'm trying to find?
Am I in love? Am I too young?
I know my life has just begun.
Does he set me free, or put me in chains?
When did my life get rearranged?
Do I hold on, do I let go?
I know I can't escape tomorrow
Can I live for him and live for today?
Suddenly the sky looks far away (far away)
Suddenly the sky looks far away.
Far away.
