Next Time I'm Seventeen Lyrics - Moon Landing - James Blunt

It was the year of 91 

Freddy Mercury was gone 

And Nevermind was playing on our radios 

We were only 17 

I would park out on your street 

Wait for dark to see you climbing out your window 

Something's gone wrong with the weather 

There's a storm out in the desert 

But to us that all seemed very far away

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Sometimes, when I 

Think about those days it makes me wonder 

What went by 

Oh yeah, left me breathless 

She was so damn wild 

Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Ohh) 

We were young and reckless 

Too soon, out of time 

Next time I'm 17 

I won't be left behind 

She would still be mine 

She would still be mine 

While the Iron Curtain fell 

We were lying in a field 

Shared the gin and cigarettes I'd stolen from my dad 

We both knew what would happen next 

In my cherry red AX 

Did she know she was the best I'd ever had 

Said we'd always be together 

That we'd stay this way forever 

The future seemed so very far away 

Sometimes, when I 

Think about those days it makes me wonder 

What went by 

Oh yeah, left me breathless 

She was so damn wild 

Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Ohh) 

We were young and reckless 

Too soon, out of time 

Next time I'm 17 

I won't be left behind 

She would still be mine 

You must be married now 

In some suburban house 

Are you happy now? 

Do you ever think back to those times? 

It was so innocent 

Do you ever meet me in your mind? 

Oh yeah, she left me breathless 

She was so damn wild 

Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. 

We were young and reckless 

Too soon, out of time 

Next time I'm 17 

I won't be left behind 

She would still be mine 

(Oh yeah, she was) 

She'd still be mine 

(Sometimes) 

Still be mine 

(Best days of our lives) 

We were young and reckless 

Too soon, out of time 

Next time I'm 17 

I won't be left behind 

She would still be mine
