We were seventeen and invincible Had the world figured out and a girl on my shoulder Told me, "Everything's gonna be alright" Whoa oh And everything was gonna be alright Whoa oh
Yeah, maybe we were in high school But you never see the ending when you're young and love pretending Singing, "Everything's gonna be alright" Whoa oh Everything was gonna be alright
Buried her deep inside Stars stuck in my eyes
Now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rock band Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned Yea she's in Ohio And I'm on some back road Driving to the city and then, who knows? Cause that's all, she wrote
Wish that I could turn this car around But she's got a boyfriend now
And I took a trip out to LA For the girl with a smile that could take your breath away I'm thinking, everything's gonna be alright Whoa oh And everything was gonna be alright Whoa oh
Maybe I thought I could sneak in And sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston Thinking everything's goin' be alright Whoa oh And everything was gonna be alright
These streets keep holding on But now she's so far gone
Now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rock band Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned Yeah, she's on the West Coast And I'm on some back road Driving to the city and then, who knows? Cause that's all, she wrote
Wish that I could turn this car around But she's got a boyfriend now
Take me back to you somehow With everything that I know now it's so hard I tore us apart
Take me back to feeling like the world Would just keep dealing me the right cards Now you're just so far
And I'm twenty-three and invincible Got the world figured out and a bird on my shoulder Told me, "Everything's gonna be alright" Whoa oh And when is everything gonna be alright?
And now she's got a boyfriend And I've got a rock band Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned Yeah, she's in Ohio And I'm on some back road Driving to the city and then, who knows? Cause that's all, she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around Cause there she goes I wish that I could press rewind somehow But she's got a boyfriend now
