We were 17 and invincible
Had the world figured out
And the girl on my shoulder told me
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything was gonna be alright
Yeah maybe we were in high school
But you neve see the ending
When you’re young in love pretending singin’
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything was gonna be alright
Buried her deep inside
Stars stuck in my eyes
Chorus:
Now she’s got a boyfriend
And I’ve got a rock band
Guess nothing really ever goes the way it’s planned, yeah
She’s in Ohio
And I’m on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Guess that’s all she wrote
I wish that I could take this car around
But she’s got a boyfriend now
Then I took a trip out to LA
For the girl with a smile
That could take your breath away, I’m thinking
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything was gonna be alright
Maybe I thought I could sweep in
And sweep her off her feet
And blow right back to Boston, thinkin’
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything was gonna be alright
The streets keep rolling on
But now she’s so far gone
Chorus 2:
Now she’s got a boyfriend
And I’ve got a rock band
Guess nothing really ever goes the way it’s planned, yeah
She’s on the west coast
And I’m on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Guess that’s all she wrote
I wish that I could take this car around
But she’s got a boyfriend now
Take me back you somehow, with everything that I know
Now it’s so hard, I tore us apart
Take me back to feeling like the world would just keep
Dealing me the right cards, now you’re just so far
And I’m 23 and invincible
Got the world figured out
And the bird on my shoulder told me
Everything’s gonna be alright
But is everything gonna be alright?…
Chorus 3:
Now she’s got a boyfriend
And I’ve got a rock band
Guess nothing really ever goes the way it’s planned, yeah
She’s in Ohio
And I’m on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Guess that’s all she wrote
I wish that I could take this car around
‘Cause there she goes
I wish that I could press rewind somehow
‘Cause she’s got a boyfriend now
(Take your, take your, breath, breath, breath away
I’ll take your, take your, breath, breath, breath away)
