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
