Seventeen and Wild

[Verse 1] Seventeen and wild, we owned the night, Music too loud in the neon light. Cheap wine swirling in paper cups, Laughing too hard, never growing up. Your face in the crowd, I didn’t know then, You’d be my always, not just a friend. [Chorus] 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… Those were the days. [Verse 2] Laughing till we cried on bathroom floors, Strangers turned close behind locked doors. We swore forever, young and bold, Now all those scenes feel framed in gold. But in that chaos, I found you there, The only thing time still leaves fair. [Chorus] 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… Those were the days. [Bridge] The parties fade, the faces blur, Names drift away like city birds. But what we built keeps shining on, A quiet fire that never’s gone. From seventeen to now I see, You were the gift that night gave me. [Final Chorus] 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, Those were our days… those were our days.
