21 (Or Was It 17)
When you're young all you wanna do is grow up. When you're old you just wanna go back
And relive the days with nothing to do but put your bare feet on the grass.
With the windows down, yeah the sun on your faces, looking back now, nothing can replace
Being 21, or was it 17, oh we were anything that we wanted to be
A little bit younger and a whole lot dumber, living for the summer on faith and a fake ID
We were living in the moment, not worried about the past, holding on a kiss, just praying it would last
Not ever knowing what the future holds yeah, just wishing we were old
Ain't it funny how time as it rolls on by, goes just a little bit faster
We all long for the days, when nothing really matter
With the windows down, those long afternoons, that gas station wine, me and you
We were 21, or was it 17, we were anything that we wanted to be
A little bit younger and a whole lot dumber, living for the summer on faith and a fake ID
We were living in the moment, not worried about the past, holding on a kiss, just praying it would last
Not ever knowing what the future holds, just wishing we were old, we were old
Now we're here, maybe gone but that don't mean that we can't act like we did when...
We were 21, or was it 17, we were anything that we wanted to be
A little bit younger and a whole lot dumber, living for the summer on faith and a fake ID
We were living in the moment, not worried about the past, holding on a kiss, just praying it would last
Not ever knowing what the future holds, just wishing we were old, we were old
Oh, oh yeah
And relive the days with nothing to do but put your bare feet on the grass.
With the windows down, yeah the sun on your faces, looking back now, nothing can replace
Being 21, or was it 17, oh we were anything that we wanted to be
A little bit younger and a whole lot dumber, living for the summer on faith and a fake ID
We were living in the moment, not worried about the past, holding on a kiss, just praying it would last
Not ever knowing what the future holds yeah, just wishing we were old
Ain't it funny how time as it rolls on by, goes just a little bit faster
We all long for the days, when nothing really matter
With the windows down, those long afternoons, that gas station wine, me and you
We were 21, or was it 17, we were anything that we wanted to be
A little bit younger and a whole lot dumber, living for the summer on faith and a fake ID
We were living in the moment, not worried about the past, holding on a kiss, just praying it would last
Not ever knowing what the future holds, just wishing we were old, we were old
Now we're here, maybe gone but that don't mean that we can't act like we did when...
We were 21, or was it 17, we were anything that we wanted to be
A little bit younger and a whole lot dumber, living for the summer on faith and a fake ID
We were living in the moment, not worried about the past, holding on a kiss, just praying it would last
Not ever knowing what the future holds, just wishing we were old, we were old
Oh, oh yeah
