Do I miss you? Or do I miss the feelin'

Of wantin' someone so badly

that it almost stopped me from breathin'?

At every stop light, I've gotta face it

When you said, "I'll race you home, "

I didn't know all the things I'd be chasin'

And it's so unfair

It's so masochistic

How you're always there

But I can't ever relive it

Nothin' will ever be simple like seventeen

And the way that you loved me with no composure

And nothin' will ever hurt like bein' a lesson learned

And thinkin' it coulda worked if we were older

But nothin' will ever be simple like seventeen

I've spent ten months with another person (Another person)

But somehow it just pushed the memory of you

right back up to the surface

And it's so unfair (It's so unfair)

It's so masochistic

How I'll always care

But I can't ever relive it, 'cause

Nothin' will ever be simple like seventeen

And the way that you loved me with no composure

Nothin' will ever hurt like bein' a lesson learned

And thinkin' it coulda worked if we were older

Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh-ooh-ooh (If we were)

Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh-ooh-ooh (If we were)

Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh-ooh-ooh (If we were)

Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh-ooh-ooh

Maybe I just have some growin' up to do

But maybe you were made for me to hold onto

So, maybe you can stay

but I still gotta make some room for somethin' new

Even though it's true

Nothin' will ever be simple like seventeen

And the way that you loved me with no composure

Nothin' will ever hurt like bein' a lesson learned

And thinkin' it coulda worked if we were older

But nothin' will ever be simple like seventeen
