A nervous breath, a broken sigh
In these you left me wondering why
Tell them I’ve gone out singing
Of hopeful thoughts, of younger days
As I revealed myself in ways
Recorded church bells ringing
The summer nights recurred the same
You thought about me when you came
Then knew you couldn’t stay
Cause they were coming to take you away
Coming to take you away from me
But you liked it
But what was the point of it anyway?
Enough of lessons I should have to learn
And bridges that I need to burn
What was the point of it anyway?
Nothing is forever when you’re 17
Now things are always what they seem
My shower mat was smeared with bugs
My bedroom floor in souvenir mugs
The fan above me buzzing
The things we said last night they gleam
Upon my face the telescreen
And through the morning listens
I said your parents loved you still
In your own world you’d wait until
They were dead to say
Cause they were coming to take you away
Coming to take you away from me
But you liked it
But what was the point of it anyway?
Enough of lessons I should have to learn
And bridges that I need to burn
What was the point of it anyway?
Nothing is forever when you’re 17
Now things are always what they seem
A million people tell me that the world ain’t always right
So if a million people go to change it I might too
The visions I could never have when I’m lying wide awake
Walking down the waking streets on the routes they often take
I would never dream of simple things again
I would never dream of faces more than friends
Cause that’s what growing up is
Your body knowing when it’s the end
But what was the point of it anyway?
Enough of people that will never learn
And bridges that I need to burn
What was the point of it anyway?
Nothing is forever when you’re 17
Now things are always what they seem
