When I Was Seventeen

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was seventeen My heart and head were full of brilliant dreams Assembled in the light of a day That seems so far away Away [Chorus] And now When I was seventeen When I was seventeen I thought we knew everything We knew everything [Post-Chorus] No responsibility Endless possibility What on Earth could possibly hurt me? [Interlude] Lubetkin Corbusier Van der Rohe Mendelsohn Modern, modern Brutalist architecture Future, future The future is clean and modern [Verse 2] Space and light and dreams That's all people need And a place to sleep The music and the songs That you play Sound so far away Away (away) [Chorus] And now When I was seventeen When I was seventeen I thought we knew everything We knew everything When I was seventeen I thought we knew everything [Outro] When I was seventeen When I was seventeen When I was seventeen When I was seventeen I was seventeen
