Time is a thief a killer of youth
But I still hold onto memories of you
And falling in love for the first time

Well it was a hot summer that year
Thought you'd be the one when I first met you
You know when you're that young
You think you know everything

I'm still seventeen in my mind
Still at that place when you were mine
Young wild and free
Just you and me
Wish I could always be
Seventeen

Started out innocent
Next thing you know
We're sneaking out where
The moonlight don't go
And you're kissing me for the first time

Fast forward a few months
Nights were getting cold
You breakin' my heart
Your true colors shown
'Cause you're moving away
And just couldn't wait on me

I'm still seventeen in my mind
Still at that place when you were mine
Young wild and free
Just you and me
Wish I could always be
Seventeen

And I'm still under those evergreens
When you said that you loved me
I loved you from the start
But you tore me apart into nothing

I'm still seventeen in my mind
Kissing you under summer starlight
Young wild and free
Just you and me
Wish I could always be

Seventeen in my mind
Still at that place when you were mine
Young wild and free
Just you and me
Wish I could always be
Seventeen
