(Georgia Middleman/Sherri Austin)
It was as if all the trees that late September
Couldn't bear to let go of their leaves
And I knew just how they felt
Was having trouble letting go myself
Cause love at seventeen
It's like driving into the sun
With no sungla**es on
It was shining just for us
And we knew that it would always be
But when I think about it now
Every sunrise must go down
Back then I thought you were the only one
It's funny what you can't see
Driving into the sun
It was the summer and time was in a hurry
And we couldn't grow up fast enough
And in the back seat of your car
I gave you more than just my heart
And we swore that it was love
It's like driving into the sun
With no sungla**es on
It was shining just for us
And we knew that it would always be
But when I think about it now
Every sunrise must go down
Back then I thought you were the only one
It's funny what you can't see
Driving into the sun
Oh you were such a beautiful mistake
What I wouldn't give to love again
Like I didn't know a heart could break
It's like driving into the sun
With no sungla**es on
It was shining just for us
And we knew that it would always be
But when I think about it now
Every sunrise must go down
Back then I thought you were the only one
It's funny what you can't see
Driving into the sun
Oh.. It's funny what you can't see
Driving into the sun
