I remember sitting back
cause you said you had something to say
you told me that you had a secret yeah
promised too keep it safe, I kept it for you
And we talked and we laughed and we sat in the car and watched the world go past
I tried to dissuade you but you'd made up your mind
you were wise at seveteen
and there was nothing I could do
and there was nothing I could say
I didn't know why you asked me
you gonna do it anyway
everybody makes mistakes
and everybody feels the same
there was nothing i could do
and there was nothing i could say
they say you've grown up to fast
that we acted young and foolishly
I keep all this in mind when I recall the times
I have to disagree
I'll be here for you
and we talked and we laughed and we sat in the car and watched the world go past
I tried to dissuade you
but you know what you're like
you were wise at seventeen
and there was nothing I could do
and there was nothing I could say
I didn't know why you asked me
you gonna do it anyway
everybody makes mistakes
and everybody feels the same
there was nothing I could do
and there was nothing I could say
birds in the trees sing a song for me
about being young and foolish and naive
I haven't changed that much from what I see
I was only trying to make things right
and we talked and we laughed and we sat in the car and watched the world go past
I tried to dissuade you but you made up your mind
you were wise at seventeen
there was nothing I could do
and there was nothing I could say
I didn't know why you asked me
you gonna do it anyway
everybody makes mistakes
and everybody feels the same
there was nothing I could do
and there was nothing I could say
