I was 17 and he was too

The best of friends we made it through together

Whatever came our way

He saw me cry but he made me laugh

Probably did things we shouldn't have

But I'd never take them back

Sitting here missin' him wondering how he's been

Since then

Sometimes he'll cross my mind takes me back to that time

And I wonder if

What if we kept our promises

What if we never did forget

What if we meant all the beautiful things we said

What if he made me made me stay

And he was still mine today

What if we could forgive and rebegin

And be 17 again

Ohh

We'd sit by the fire and kiss too long

Then he'd play guitar and I'd sing along

I swear the sound was magic to me

And I didn't care if we were all we had

Say I love you with the squeeze of my hand

Back before growing up began

And now I sit here missing him wondering how he's been

Since then

Sometimes he'll cross my mind takes me back to that time

And I wonder if

What if we kept our promises

What if we never did forget

What if we meant all the beautiful things we said

What if he made me made me stay

And he was still mine today

What if we could forgive and rebegin

And be 17 again

Woah

I've never hurt and I've never loved again like that

If the first real love you have is actually the last

Then I can't talk about us

What if we kept our promises

What if we never did forget

What if we meant all the beautiful things we said

What if he made me made me stay

And he was still mine today

What if we could forgive and rebegin

And be 17 again

Oh ooh
