Seventeen and wild, we owned the night Music too loud, everything felt right Cheap wine in plastic cups, we didn't care Dancing like fools without a prayer Your face in the crowd, I didn't know then You'd be my forever, my best friend Those were the days, those were the nights Nothing could dim our city lights Seventeen and free, we had it all Till morning came to break the fall Those were the days Laughing till we cried on bathroom floors Strangers became friends behind closed doors We thought we'd live forever, young and bold Now those stories feel like liquid gold But in that chaos, I found you there The only thing that's still as fair Those were the days, those were the nights Nothing could dim our city lights Seventeen and free, we had it all Till morning came to break the fall Those were the days The parties fade, the friends move on But what we had will carry on From seventeen to now I see You were the gift that night gave me Those were the days, those were the nights Now we make our own city lights Seventeen's gone but love remains Worth all the joy and all the pain Those were the days Those were our days
