seventeen       seventeen   He was working at the record shop   I would kiss him in the parking lot   so steal those cigarettes and soda pops seventeen   He would tell me I was beautiful   sneaking in the neighbor's swimming pool  yeah he taught me how to break the rules seventeen hey these days are long gone that when I hear that song it takes me back We were on top of the world back when I was your girl we were living so wild and free acting stupid for fun all we needed was love that's the way it's supposed to be seventeen seventeen   Stealing beers out of this trailer park   flicking lighters just to fight the dark   my favorite place is sitting in his car seventeen   We laid a blanket on the rooftop   that time I knew I wouldn't make him stop  the next we're cold but we kept them hot seventeen hey these days are long gone that when I hear that song it takes me back We were on top of the world back when I was your girl we were living so wild and free acting stupid for fun all we needed was love that's the way it's supposed to be We were running red lights We were going all night didn't care about anything we were living our dream playing you and me and we were seventeen Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh   I remember what it felt like   Just a small town kind of life  If I could only just go back in time seventeen We were on top of the world back when I was your girl we were living so wild and free acting stupid for fun all we needed was love that's the way it's supposed to be We were running red lights We were going all night didn't care about anything we were living our dream playing you and me and we were seventeen seventeen seventeen seventeen seventeen

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque des souvenirs nostalgiques d'une adolescence pleine de liberté et de moments insouciants. Elle parle d'une jeune fille qui se remémore des instants précieux passés avec son amoureux, entre escapades dans les parcs, soirées à voler quelques bières, et l'insouciance de la jeunesse. Moments simples et joyeux, comme s'embrasser dans le parking d'un magasin ou profiter d'une baignade, se mêlent à une insouciance totale pour le monde extérieur, où l'amour est la seule chose qui compte. Le texte souligne un contraste entre ces jours lointains et la réalité présente, avec un sentiment de regret pour ces temps où tout semblait possible. C'est une célébration de la jeunesse, une période marquée par la folie douce et la recherche d'aventure.
