Open up my eyes
I'm awake before the crows start singing
Unsatisfied, too much on my mind and I can't stop thinking of
My love, what she's doing and how she's feeling
I want to call her up, but she's working late and I'm out all night gigging
But I know that if I wait until the morning
I'll have to go and leave her all alone in satin
If only I could have some time that I could borrow
Well, I would see her every yesterday and most tomorrows
Cuz sometimes, I wish that we were younger
17 in the early summer
With nothing but blue skies
And sunshine creeping in from underneath the shutters
Let's grab ice cream or go visit your mother
If only sometimes
And I'll apologize
For the stupid shit I say when I've been drinking
A bunch of stupid lies
That I tell myself when my ship's sinking
You know that you're the only one
Of who I'm ever thinking of
A girl who's pretty, sweet and oh so witty
She's all of the above
But if I stay tonight, I'll be leaving in the morning
Let's call in sick today, so we can go exploring
All the nooks and every cranny of this bedroom
I promise I'd make every second count before I'd break through
Well sometimes, I wish that we were younger
Turn 19 in the early summer
With nothing but blue skies
And moonshine spilling outside on a Wednesday night
Alone in the dark, such a beautiful sight
If only sometimes
But if we'd met before
Would you still be knocking on my door
If you lived down the street
Would you just want to be friends with me
I'm wishing I could have the time back that I borrowed
Yesterdays are overrated, show me the tomorrows
Cuz sometimes, I'm glad that we're not younger
17 in the early summer
Just trying to kill time
Yeah sometimes, I'm so glad that we're not younger
You turn 19 but by the end of the summer
It's good luck and goodbye
Yeah sometimes, aren't you glad that we're not younger
24 in the middle of summer
With nothing but blue skies
And late nights in her arms underneath the covers
She gets on my nerves, but you know that I love her
If only sometimes
Yeah but only sometimes
Don't ever wish that we were younger
But don't you ever wish that we were younger
Well, don't you ever wish that we were younger
Don't ever wish that we were younger
But don't you ever wish that we were younger
Don't ever wish that we were younger
Don't ever wish that we were younger
But don't you ever wish that we were younger
Don't you ever wish that we were younger
Don't ever wish that we were younger
Well, don't you ever wish that we were younger
Don't ever wish that we were younger
