~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'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
