We were seventeen and invincible Had the world figured out And the girl on my shoulders Told me everything's gon' be alright (Whoa-oh) And everything was gonna be alright (Whoa-oh)
Yeah maybe we were in high school But you never see the ending When you're young and not pretending Singing everything's gon' be alright (Whoa-oh) And everything was gonna be alright Buried her deep inside Stars go kill my eyes
Now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rock band Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned Yeah she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road Driving to the city and then who knows Cause that's all she wrote I wish that I could turn this car around But she's got a boyfriend now (Whoa) (Whoa)
Then I took a trip out to LA For the girl with a smile that could take your breath away I'm thinking everything's gon' be alright (Whoa-oh) And everything was gonna be alright (Whoa-oh)
Maybe I thought I could sweep in And sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston Thinking everything's gon' be alright (Whoa-oh) And everything was gonna be alright (Whoa-oh) These streets keep holding on But now she's so far gone
Now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rock band Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah she's on the west coast And I'm on some back road Driving to the city and then who knows Cause that's all she wrote I wish that I could turn this car around But she's got a boyfriend now Take me back to you somehow And everything that I know now it's so hard I tore us apart Take me back to feeling like the world Would just keep dealing me the right cards Now you're just so far
And I'm 23 and invincible Got the world figured out and a bird on my shoulders Told me everything's gon' be alright (Whoa-oh) And when is everything gonna be alright?
Now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rock band Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned Yeah she's in Ohio And I'm on some back road Driving to the city and then who knows Cause that's all she wrote I wish that I could turn this car around Cause then she goes I wish that I could press rewind somehow But she's got a boyfriend now (Whoa)
