Lyrics

Oh, I was 17 When I heard the countdown start It started slowly And I thought it was my heart But then I realised That this time it was for real There was no place to hide I had to go out and feel But there was time to kill And so I, I walked my way round town I tried to love the world Oh, but the world just got me down And so I looked for you In every street of every town I wanna see your face I wanna, I wanna see you now I wanna see you now Oh and so it went Oh, so it went for several years I couldn't stand it, no Oh, it must be getting near now But you just don't know Oh no, you just don't understand How many people have seen you In the arms of, of some other man I've got to meet you And find you And take you by the hand Oh my god, my god You've got to understand That I was 17 I didn't, didn't know a thing at all I've got no reason I've got no reason at all Oh no Oh, the time of my life Oh, I think you came too soon (Yeah, it came too soon then) Oh and it could It could be tonight If I ever leave this room (I never leave this room now) Oh, oh, wasting all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down (Get down, oh) Oh, and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town (So I'm gonna leave this town... goodbye... okay) Yeah, you can leave me Oh, you, you can go some other place You can forget it Yeah, you know, you know that it's okay Because I own this town Yeah, yeah, I've brought it to its knees Can you hear it crying? Can you? Can you hear it begging to me "please" I know it's coming, so soon now Oh it's, it's on its way Oh no, oh no, oh I can hear them say They say I can't survive They say I'll, I'll never leave the ground They say it's all a lie And now, and now it's coming down Oh baby now, please Oh, the time of my life Oh, I think you came too soon (Yeah, it came too soon then) Oh and it could Oh, it could be tonight If I ever leave this room (I never leave this room now) Oh, oh, oh wasting all my time on all those stupid things that only get me down (Get down, oh) Oh, and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town (Do you want me to go? Yeah really, I'm gonna go. Bye, bye) It's okay, you don't have to care Really, oh really I swear No, no, you owe me nothing, you owe nothing to me Oh and if I messed it up baby then Then that's all up to me, yeah And if you go Then I won't follow, no, no So many times, I've been thinking maybe Oh, maybe I should No, no I'm gonna stay I'm gonna make my way, oh I'm gonna get on through babe I'm gonna make it some day Oh, the time of my life Oh no, I think you came too soon (Yeah, it came too soon then) Oh and it could Oh, it could be tonight If I ever leave this room (I never, never leave this room now) Oh, oh, oh wasting all the time on those stupid things that only get me down (Get down, oh, oh) Oh, and the sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town (So I'll leave this town) The sky is crying out tonight for me to leave this town And I'm gonna leave this town And time is crying out tonight for me to leave this town Do you want me to go? Yeah? I'm gonna go, really, bye bye I gonna leave this town, oh I'm not gonna hang around Fly in the stars and go where I can never, ever ever land Leaves and stars and moon are falling down
