Verse 1:
I'll always be age seventeen
Wide eyed, with limbs still shaking
At home alone, the dial tone
Drags on for hours on end
Hey Mom I'll take the van
We'll drive it up and down the road
Without a plan
'Cuz this is ending

Chorus:
Don't take me back
It won't be the same
Don't take me back
It won't be the same

Verse 2:
We'll hit the spot
Yeah, in a parking lot
We've got all the space that we need
I'm wishing for a few more weeks
Unlike the moon this is going down
Hey man we'll hop the fence
You've got my back I've got the curse
And its sinking in
Yeah I'm sinking

Verse 3:
Hey Dad I'm sleeping in
I'm dropping out when they step in
All alone again
And I'm done thinking

Chorus:
Don't take me back
It won't be the same

Don't take me back
(I'll always be age seventeen)
It won't be the same

"I still can't tell if I'm speeding up man, I feel like there's no way for me like...the rhythms that I play."
