Lyrics
What’s her name, I can’t tell you
Let’s just call her Seventeen
That was the year I learned how to fall
My last year of being free
Oh, Seventeen

She had sunkissed hair and Norwegian eyes
And I would believe her even if she lied
I waited around, waited to see
If destiny would bring her close to me
Oh, but it was not meant to be

And I still remember the day that I fell
My heart threw itself in a wishing well
And I dreamed of a kiss that would never come
It’s been a long time I’m still in love with Seventeen

All that summer and our Senior year
I waited for chances to appear
But just like the tide, time carried her away
I thought there’d be someday
Thought love would find a way

And I still remember the day that I fell
My heart threw itself in a wishing well
And I dreamed of a kiss that would never come
It’s been a long time I’m still in love with Seventeen

She’s as beautiful now as she was then
Some of my heart is hers till the end
Still it’s hard not to feel regret
For love I never had

And I still remember the day that I fell
My heart threw itself in a wishing well
And I dreamed of a kiss that would never come
It’s been a long time I’m still in love with Seventeen
Oh Seventeen, I’m still in love with Seventeen
I remember Seventeen
