[Verse 1]
Do I miss you? Or do I miss the feelin'
Of wantin' someone so badly that it almost stopped me from breathin'?
At every stop light, I've gotta face it
When you said, "I'll race you home," I didn't know all the things I'd be chasin'

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's so unfair
It's so masochistic
How you're always there
But I can't ever relive it

[Chorus]
Nothin' will ever be simple like seventeen
And the way that you loved me with no composure
And nothin' will ever hurt like bein' a lesson learned
And thinkin' it coulda worked if we were older
But nothin' will ever be simple like seventeen

[Verse 2]
I've spent ten months with another person (Another person)
But somehow it just pushed the memory of you right back up to the surface

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's so unfair (It's so unfair)
It's so masochistic
How I'll always care
But I can't ever relive it, 'cause
[Chorus]
Nothin' will ever be simple like seventeen
And the way that you loved me with no composure
Nothin' will ever hurt like bein' a lesson learned
And thinkin' it coulda worked if we were older

[Refrain]
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh-ooh-ooh (If we were)
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh-ooh-ooh (If we were)
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh-ooh-ooh (If we were)
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
Maybe I just have some growin' up to do
But maybe you were made for me to hold onto
So, maybe you can stay but I still gotta make some room for somethin' new
Even though it's true

[Chorus]
Nothin' will ever be simple like seventeen
And the way that you loved me with no composure
Nothin' will ever hurt like bein' a lesson learned
And thinkin' it coulda worked if we were older
But nothin' will ever be simple like seventeen
