We were seventeen and invincible
Had the world figured out and a girl on my shoulder
Told me everything's gonna be alright
And everything was gonna be alright
Yeah, maybe we were in high school
But you never see the ending
When you're young and not pretending
Singing "everything's gon' be alright"
And everything was gonna be alright
Buried her deep inside
Stars, they'll kill my eyes
Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
There's nothing really at it
Cause the way it's been
Yeah, she's in Ohio
And I'm on some back road
Driving to the city
And then who knows?
Cause that's how she rolls
I wish that I could turn this car around
She's got a boyfriend now
Then I took a trip out to LA
For the girl with the smile that could take your breath away
I'm thinking everything's gon' be alright
And everything was gonna be alright
Maybe I thought I could sweep it
And sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston
Thinking everything's gonna be alright
And everything was gonna be alright
These dreams keep holding on
But now she's so far gone
Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
There's nothing really at it
Cause the way it's been
Yeah, she's on the west coast
And I'm on some back road
Driving to the city
And then who knows?
Cause that's how she rolls
I wish that I could turn this car around
She's got a boyfriend now
Take it back to you so
Now with everything that I know
Now it's so hard
I tore us apart
Taking back the feeling that the world
Will just keep dealing me the right cards
Now you're just so far
And I'm 23 and invincible
Got the world figured out
And the bird on my shoulder
Told me everything's gonna be alright
And then is everything gonna be alright?
Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
There's nothing really at it
Cause the way it's been
Yeah, she's in Ohio
And I'm on some back road
Driving to the city
And then who knows?
Cause that's how she rolls
I wish that I could turn this car around
Cause then she goes
I wish that I could press rewind somehow
She's got a boyfriend now
