17 Lyrics by Bēkon

Get With The Times

2018

[Verse 1]
I asked her at a quarter to three
I told her Coca-Cola is free
Its okay, I'm alright, you okay
Come and spend the night?
We jumped into the mystical sea
I told her "leave the rest up to me"
And we swam and we kissed and we sunk into eternity

[Chorus]
I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream
Breaking up is hard to do when you're seventeen

[Verse 2]
She handed me a note casually
She said "meet me at a quarter to three"
So I went there alone and stood outside her history
It hit me like a punch in the face
She said that we should go our own ways
I didn't cry, I didn't smile
I didn't die, I just faded away

[Chorus]
I never knew that the heart could break and the love could be so mean
My heart stopped beating when I was seventeen
I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream
Breaking up is hard to do when you're seventeen

[Verse 3]
A couple of days later gone by
Started getting back my appe-petite
So I cut me a piece of old fashioned american pie
I asked her out a quarter to three
Wish I knew that n-n-nothing is free
Say hello, say goodbye to the day that the summertime died

[Chorus]
I never knew that the sun would rise and could wash away this dream
Life can be crazy when you're seventeen
