Sweet seventeen, never been kissed He had never known what he had missed Laying in the gra**, playing in the stars Our hero makes his final trip to mars Thoughts seems to change, now what's on his mind Floating down a river wasting time Playing in the mud, basking in the sun At the O.K. Corral with his gun And he's lost in a daydream Never to return A picture in the glowing embers burns Let's the hours pa** Hours turn to years He's smiling and no one really cares He's gazing at the clouds And he's drinking lemonade Lean against a tree And we're drowning in the shade Staring in his eyes But still he can't be seen Then their lips meet for the first time And this life's a dream Under full moon, playing with his friends At a time when nothing seems to end Take a look around, isn't this great At a time when growing up can wait
