Boys Like Girls

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)
