Seventeen
Tomberlin
Reverence so uncomfortable
You sit across the room
'Cause I'm too scared to talk to you
You knew a friend, I knew a friend
I looked down at your hands
Pretending I was looking at the floor
I held your eyes for quite some time
I'm not sure how it happened
I was just surprised
Were you surprised?
I walk in the breeze
Like I am seventeen
Love is mostly war
And war, what is it for?
Only love the people who don't love you back
What is up with that?
Are you done with that?
I can't say I'm much different
'Cause I still love you
I was blinded
And I'm still blinded
I walk in the breeze
Like I am seventeen
Love is mostly war
And love, what is it for?
I distract myself with other things
To keep myself from you
I'm tired of the others
They never loved you
My life has always been a kind of secret
Can you keep it?
Could you keep it?
I walk in the breeze
Like I am seventeen
Love is mostly war
And love, what is it for?
You always say that I look so tough
But it's because I'm tough
I walk in the breeze (you always say)
Like I am seventeen (that I look so tough)
Love is mostly war (but it's because I'm tough)
And love, what is it for?
I walk in the breeze (you always say)
Like I am seventeen (that I look so tough)
Love is mostly war (but it's because I'm tough)
And love, what is it for?
