Seventeen

[Veronica]
Fine!
We’re damaged
Really damaged
But that does not make us wise

We’re not special, we’re not different
We don’t choose who lives or dies
Let’s be normal, see bad movies
Sneak a beer and watch TV

We’ll bake brownies or go bowling
Don’t you want a life with me?

Can’t we be seventeen?
That’s all I want to do
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
People hurt us

[JD]
Or they vanish

[Veronica]
And you’re right, that really blows
But we let go

[JD]
Take a deep breath

[Veronica]
Then go buy some summer clothes
We'll go camping

[JD]
Play some poker

[Veronica]
And we’ll eat some chili fries
Maybe prom night

[JD]
Maybe dancing

[Veronica]
Don't stop looking in my eyes

[JD]
Your eyes

[Both]
Can't we be seventeen
Is that so hard to do?
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right

[Veronica]
So what’s it gonna be?
I wanna be with you

[JD]
I wanna be with you

[Veronica]
Wanna be with you

[Both]
Tonight

[Veronica]
Yeah we’re damaged

[JD]
Badly damaged

[Both]
But your love’s too good to lose

[Veronica]
Hold me tighter

[JD]
Even closer

[Veronica]
I’ll stay if I’m what you choose

[JD]
Can we be seventeen?

[Veronica]
If I am what you choose

[JD]
If we've still got the right

[Veronica]
‘Cause you’re the one I choose

[JD]
You’re the one I choose

[Both]
You’re the one I choose
