I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
I was only waiting `round for something to begin
I was only seventeen
I told you that it didn`t mean a thing...
Feels like a million years ago
Small town where everybody knows
Everything about everybody else
Way back when there wasn`t you and me
I guess I was still naive
And the moment was as far as I could see
(Chorus)
I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
I was only waiting `round for something to begin
I was only seventeen
I told you that it didn`t mean a thing...
Why can`t you just love me?
Please, don`t push too hard
The truth you think you`re after
Might just break your heart
Someone who I thought was my friend
But sometimes people just pretend
And I will never be the same again
(Chorus)
I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
I was only waiting `round for something to begin
I was only seventeen
I told you that it didn`t mean a thing...
Why can`t you just love me?
Please, don`t push too hard
The truth you think you`re after
Might just break your heart
I`m sure there`s things you`d rather keep inside
I won`t ask you about all the things you`ve tried
Don`t let yesterday get in the way
Why can`t we just start from where we are?
(Chorus)
I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in
I was only waiting `round for something to begin
I was only seventeen
I told you that it didn`t mean a thing...
Why can`t you just love me?
Please, don`t push too hard
The truth you think you`re after
Might just break my heart....
