Teenagers Like to Sleep

Walking to art class
Saw you in the hall
We were, just fourteen
But I knew we'd have it all

High school sweetheart
First kiss under the stars
Favourite pastime
Laying down with you outside

Close my eyes and sleep
And when I wake you're still there with me

And we're only 17
And we like to sleep
I hope I never wake from this dream
When we're only 17

I was there waiting
Where you said you would be
But you never showed up
Your car took you from me

Went home crying
I couldn't fall asleep
So many sleepless nights
Staring at the ceiling, thinking

Now so many years have passed between
And when I sleep I dream

And we're only 17
And we like to sleep
I hope I never wake from this dream
When we're only 17
And you're still with me
Laying there, I run my fingers through your hair
And we're only 17

Now I have settled for another
And I live a life I love
But when I close my eyes and you're still there with me
I know I'd give it all away
Just to be 17

When we're only 17
And you're still with me
Laying there, I run my fingers through your hair
And we're only 17

And we're only 17
And we're only 17
And we're only 17
And we're only 17
And you're still with me here
