We were seventeen and invincible
Had the world figured out
And the girl on my shoulder
Told me everything's gonna be all right
And everything was gonna be all right
Yeah, maybe we were in high school
But you never see the ending
When you're young and not pretending
Singing everything's gonna be all right
And everything was gonna be all right
Buried her deep inside, stars stuck in my eyes
Now she's got a boyfriend and I've got a rock band
'Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows?
'Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now
Then I took a trip out to LA
For the girl with a smile that could take your breath away
I'm thinking everything's gonna be all right
And everything was gonna be all right
Maybe I thought I could sweep in
And sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston
Thinking everything's gonna be all right
And everything was gonna be all right
The streets keep holding on but now she's so far gone
Now she's got a boyfriend and I've got a rock band
'Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's on the West Coast and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows?
'Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now
Take me back to you somehow
And everything that I know now
It's so hard, I tore us apart
Take me back to feeling
Like the world would just keep dealing
Me the right cards, now you're just so far
And I'm twenty three and invincible
Got the world figured out
And the bird on my shoulders
Told me everything's gonna be all right
When is everything gonna be all right?
Now she's got a boyfriend and I've got a rock band
'Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah, she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows?
'Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
'Cause there she goes
I wish that I could press rewind somehow
'Cause she's got a boyfriend now
She's got a boyfriend now
Yeah, she's got a boyfriend now
Take your, take your breath away
Take your, take your breath away
She's got a boyfriend now
