We were 17 and invincible
Had the world figured out
And the girl on my shoulder told me
"everything´s gon´ be alright" (whoah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright (whoah-oh)
Yeah maybe we were in highschool
But you never see the ending
When you´re young in love pretending singin´
Everything´s gon´ be alright (whoah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright (whoah-oh)

Buried her deep inside
Stars stuck in my eyes

And now she´s got a boyfriend
And I´ve got a rockband
Guess nothing really ever goes the way it´s planned
Yeah, she´s in Ohio
And I´m on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Guess that´s all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she´s got a boyfriend now

Then I, took a trip out to L.A
For the girl with a smile
That could take your breath away, I´m thinkin´
Everything´s gon´ be alright (whoah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright (whoah-oh)
Maybe I thought I could sweep in
And sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston
Thinkin´ everything´s gon´ be alright (whoah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright

The streets keep rolling on
But now she´s so far gone

And now she´s got a boyfriend
And I´ve got a rockband
Guess nothing really ever goes the way it´s planned
Yeah, she´s on the west coast
And I´m on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Guess that´s all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she´s got a boyfriend now

Take me back to you somehow,
With everything that I know now
It´s so hard, I tore us apart
Take me back to feeling like the world
Would just keep dealing me the right cards,
Now you´re just so far

And I´m 23 and and invincible
Got the world figured out
And the bird on my shoulder told me
"everything´s gon´ be alright" (whoah-oh)
But is everything gon´ be alright?

And now she´s got a boyfriend
And I´ve got a rockband
Guess nothing really ever goes the way it´s planned
Yeah, she´s in Ohio
And I´m on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Guess that´s all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she´s got a boyfriend now

I wish that I could turn this car around
´cause there she goes
I wish that I could press rewind somehow
´cause she´s got a boyfriend now

(Take your, take your, breath breath breath away
I´ll take your, take your, breath breath breath away)
