Searching for happiness at seventeen
There were few and far in between
Feeling lost and completely left out
But an angel made something sprout
There were logs but they were missing the flame
Then the day came where nothing was the same
I fell for you in this messy town
Didn't know it was a long way down
Every drop of rain fell too
As hard as I did just for you
For a while my whole life was a song
You made me feel as though I belonged
Then there came the day of the storm
Left me all alone and torn
Never loved someone quite that way
If only I could've made you stay
Too fast, too slow
I just didn't know
We passed by in years of quiet
Almost impossible for me to fight it
The flame rekindled deep inside
We left the whole world way outside
Roses blossomed where there were thorns before
You were all I wanted, couldn't possibly want more
Every dream I've had, so real
Promised things I'd never feel
Sudden in darkness, intervention divine
Made me realize you were fine
I found contentment in your joy
Guess I'm just a masochistic boy
Even though before, my heart was broken
To you my heart is always open
Shot by bullets right in the chest
While you're my bullet proof vest
Tonight you will be in my dream
Just like you were at seventeen
