17
Last night, I had a date with old high school friends
I didn't know that he'd come along with them
And, oh my God, he is still so hot
And all grown up
He started reminiscing, I didn't catch a thing
The music was too loud and the wine kicked in
Couldn't help but think I'm too old for this
But I won't admit it, oh
He pulled me closer just to say
I'm the one that got away
So, I slowly grabbed his face
We should have danced when I was 17
We should have slept when I still cared 'bout dreams
We could have been together, happily ever after
Just like in my teenage fantasies
We should have danced when I was 17
Now here we are in 2023
We could have been forever, but you fucking never
Gave me any teenage memories
Now, you're too late
Now, you're too late
Back then, I was below him and I could tell
But now, he wants a piece 'cause I'm doing well
His long-lost friends with their Bieber bangs
Are now my fans, oh
He tried to catch me in his arms
Told me I'm the girl he wants
So, I slowly broke his heart
We should have danced when I was 17
We should have slept when I still cared 'bout dreams
We could have been together, happily ever after
Just like in my teenage fantasies
We should have danced when I was 17
Now here we are in 2023
We could have been forever, but you fucking never
Gave me any teenage memories
Now, you're too late
Now, you're too late
Now, you're too late
I got older, I got wiser
Though I miss those good old times, I
Never wonder what it's like to live it all again
We should have danced when I was 17
We should have slept when I still cared 'bout dreams
We could have been forever, but you fucking never
Gave me any teenage memories
Now, you're too late
I didn't know that he'd come along with them
And, oh my God, he is still so hot
And all grown up
He started reminiscing, I didn't catch a thing
The music was too loud and the wine kicked in
Couldn't help but think I'm too old for this
But I won't admit it, oh
He pulled me closer just to say
I'm the one that got away
So, I slowly grabbed his face
We should have danced when I was 17
We should have slept when I still cared 'bout dreams
We could have been together, happily ever after
Just like in my teenage fantasies
We should have danced when I was 17
Now here we are in 2023
We could have been forever, but you fucking never
Gave me any teenage memories
Now, you're too late
Now, you're too late
Back then, I was below him and I could tell
But now, he wants a piece 'cause I'm doing well
His long-lost friends with their Bieber bangs
Are now my fans, oh
He tried to catch me in his arms
Told me I'm the girl he wants
So, I slowly broke his heart
We should have danced when I was 17
We should have slept when I still cared 'bout dreams
We could have been together, happily ever after
Just like in my teenage fantasies
We should have danced when I was 17
Now here we are in 2023
We could have been forever, but you fucking never
Gave me any teenage memories
Now, you're too late
Now, you're too late
Now, you're too late
I got older, I got wiser
Though I miss those good old times, I
Never wonder what it's like to live it all again
We should have danced when I was 17
We should have slept when I still cared 'bout dreams
We could have been forever, but you fucking never
Gave me any teenage memories
Now, you're too late
