Matt Allison - Seventeener (17th and 37th) lyrics

[Verse 1] I never Wanted to die old But it's too late now My heart has grown so cold And the corpse I leave behind Ain't gonna be No pretty boy It's a sick sack of disease [Verse 2] And we thought about, the way we'd go, high and beautiful and f**ing in the snow On New Year's Day, or Christmas Eve, on a warm November night buried beneath the orange leaves. Just a few dreams of the ways that we could leave [Chorus] My heart got kicked out of all its homes And dying young just didn't work out so I guess I'm dying old And now there ain't nowhere left to go, because all my loves would rather be alone [Verse 3] And yesterday I woke up to find The black in my beard had turned to white And the pretty girls That used to smile at me Just stared off straight ahead Or looked down at their feet [Verse 4] So tonight I'll sit up here With the streetlights and these seventeen beers Straight from the page Of a teenage diary Underneath these sh**ty stars like I was seventeen [Chorus]
