Seventeen Songtext
von Tomberlin

Reverence so uncomfortable
You sit across the room
′Cause I'm too scared to talk to you
You knew a friend, I knew a friend
I looked down at your hands
Pretending I was looking at the floor
I held your eyes for quite some time
I′m not sure how it happened
I was just surprised
Were you surprised?

I walk in the breeze
Like I am seventeen
Love is mostly war
And war, what is it for?


Only love the people
Who don't love you back
What is up with that?
Are you done with that?
I can't say I′m much different
′Cause I still love you
I was blinded
And I'm still blinded

I walk in the breeze
Like I am seventeen
Love is mostly war
And love, what is it for?

I distract myself with other things
To keep myself from you
I′m tired of the others
They never loved you
My life has always been a kind of secret
Can you keep it?
Could you keep it?

I walk in the breeze
Like I am seventeen
Love is mostly war
And love, what is it for?


You always say that I look so tough
But it's because I′m tough
I walk in the breeze (you always say)
Like I am seventeen (that I look so tough)
Love is mostly war (but it's because I′m tough)
And love, what is it for?
I walk in the breeze (you always say)
Like I am seventeen (that I look so tough)
Love is mostly war (but it's because I'm tough)
And love, what is it for?
