[VERONICA]

Fine!

We’re “damaged”

Really “damaged”

But that does not make us “wise”

We’re not “special”, we’re not “different”

We don’t choose who lives or dies

Let’s be normal, see bad movies

Sneak a beer and watch tv

We’ll bake brownies or go bowling

Don’t you want a life with me?

Can’t we be seventeen?

That’s all I want to do

If you could let me in

I could be good with you

People hurt us

[J.D.]

Or they vanish

[VERONICA]

And you’re right, that really blows

But we let go—

[J.D.]

Take a deep breath

[VERONICA]

Then go buy some summer clothes

We'll go camping—

[J.D.]

Play some poker

[VERONICA]

And we’ll eat some chili fries

Maybe prom night

[J.D.]

Maybe dancing

[VERONICA]

Don't stop looking in my eyes

[J.D.]

Your eyes

[VERONICA]

Can't we be seventeen

Is that so hard to do?

[BOTH]

If you could let me in

I could be good with you

Let us be seventeen

If we still got the right

[VERONICA]

So what’s it gonna be?

I wanna be with you

[J.D.]

I wanna be with you

[VERONICA]

Wanna be with you

[BOTH]

Tonight

[VERONICA]

Yeah we’re damaged

[J.D.]

Badly damaged

[BOTH]

But your love’s too good to lose

[VERONICA]

Hold me tighter

[J.D.]

Even closer

[VERONICA]

I’ll stay if I’m what you choose

[J.D.]

Can we be seventeen?

[VERONICA]

If I am what you choose

[J.D.]

If we've still got the right

[VERONICA]

‘Cause you’re the one I choose

[J.D.]

You’re the one I choose

[BOTH]

You’re the one I choose
