A boy, a girl
And a summer where it all began
We lived on love
And saltwater kisses in the rain
Came fallin' down on us
We never saw the sun again

Chorus:
She was my 17 tragedy
More than a bittersweet summer dream
Tell me destiny could it be that
Everybody needs a little
17 tragedy

We drove all night
Knowin' it would never be the same
Goodbye in your eyes
Still wish I could see them smile again
Since you left I can't forget
Those days were never gone

With 17 in love you are
So close, so near
And much too far
Wanna stay forever
In my heart

How I wish our time could come back
How I wish we didn't end so sad
How I wish we'd wish together
Those days back here forever
Come and get here next to me
And say you still wanna be 17
