  • 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

    Whoa

    Whoa

    (She's got a boyfriend now)

    Whoa

    Whoa

    (She's got a boyfriend now)

    Take your

    Take your

    Breath, breath, breath, breath, away

    Take your
    Take your
    Breath, breath, breath away
