Seventeen Lyrics by Jimmy Driscoll

Empty Room

2020

I was on street in a crowded place
When I caught that smile, I recognized that face
And just like that, I went back in time
With my first love we let the years rewind
She said even now, she still gets nervous
Thinking back on our first kiss
We were seventeen
Turn the pages of the book
Turn it back and take another look
(We were seventeen)
(at seventeen)
When people said it couldn’t be love
Because we just weren’t old enough
(We were seventeen)
(at seventeen)
But who cares what people say at seventeen
I remember those days, walking home from school
So in love but I played it cool
She said remember that time, when my dad came home
Pounding on my door, but I wasn’t alone
You went out the window and gone so fast
Looking back now, we both had to laugh
We were seventeen
People said it couldn’t be love
Because we just weren’t old enough
(We were seventeen)
(at seventeen)
How can they say it’s just a crush
When we were still young enough to trust
(We were seventeen)
(at seventeen)
But who cares what people say at seventeen
Looking back I thought it all would last
Now all I see is a life that’s past
Now I’ve got a daughter of my own
Said she’s in love and she wants to leave home
Well not today, baby there’s no way
You’re only seventeen
She say’s daddy I’m in love and I should know she’s old enough
(You’re only seventeen)
(At seventeen)
It’s easy enough for you to judge, but you don’t know about this love
(At seventeen)
(At seventeen)
I know it’s hard to see but you’ll be glad you stayed here with me
At Seventeen
