Daydreaming in a tree house
Spilling out my guts on a black top
Cul-de-sac summers in the past now
We're playing two-hand touch
You pass to me on the 4th down
Scabs on my knees from the hot ground
Levi's kind of itchy from the grass now
I romanticize too much
We got a new neighbor in the brown house
I'm staring at her, she's in a green blouse
Her little brother's crying over Mickey Mouse
And her dad looks kind of tough
She's got a couple sisters from another mom
Who notice that I'm looking at her kinda long
I wrote about this moment in another song
I guess the memory comes up
I was in a hurry to grow old
Just to get to places that I didn't wanna go
I was in a hurry to lose my way
I look back on 12 like, man, that shit was yesterday
I, I, I, I
I look back on 12 like, man, that shit was yesterday
All my friends are drinking in a hot tub
I'm nervous that they'll ask me if I want one
Playing truth or dare, I have to shot guns
Sometimes remembering is worse
Michael took his girl to the bathroom
I'm flirting with a girl from my classroom
You're hoping that he isn't looking past you
Her friends are whispering to her
I was in a hurry to grow old
Just to get to places that I didn't wanna go
I was in a hurry to lose my way
I look back on 17 like it was yesterday
I, I, I, I
I look back on 17 like it was yesterday
I, I, I, I
I look back on 17 like it was yesterday
21 on a rooftop
Glancing over at you in a blue top
A frat brother's gonna offer you two shots
I'm protective the first night
I wanna drive you home on the freeway
12 minutes to your door like a speed date
I almost crash the car, I'm a cliché
'Cause I keep looking to my right
I was in a hurry to grow old
Just to get to places that I didn't wanna go
I was in a hurry to lose my way
I look back on everything like it was yesterday
I, I, I, I
I look back on everything like it was yesterday
I, I, I, I
I look back on everything like it was yesterday
