I'll always be age seventeen Wide eyed, with limbs still shaking At home alone, the dial tone Drags for hours on end Hey mom i'll take the van We'll drive it up and down the road Without a plan 'Cuz this is ending Don't take me back It won't be the same Don't take me back It won't be the same We'll hit the spot Yeah in a parking lot We've got all the space that we need I'm rich and poor, a few more weeks Unlike the moon this is going down Hey man we'll hop the fence You've got my back I've got those curse And its sinking in Yeah i'm sinking Hey dad i'm sleeping in I'm dropping out when they step in All alone again And i'm drunk thinking Don't take me back It won't be the same Don't take me back It won't be the same (I'll always be age seventeen) "I still can't tell if I'm speeding up man, I feel like there's no way for me like... the rhythms that I play."
