Sweet seventeen, never been kissed

He had never known what he had missed 

Laying in the grass, playing in the stars 

Our hero makes his final trip to mars 



Thoughts seems to change, now what's on his mind 

Floating down a river wasting time 

Playing in the mud, basking in the sun 

At the O.K. Corral with his gun 



And he's lost in a daydream 

Never to return 

A picture in the glowing embers burns 

Let's the hours pass 

Hours turn to years 

He's smiling and no one really cares 



He's gazing at the clouds 

And he's drinking lemonade 

Lean against a tree 

And we're drowning in the shade 

Staring in his eyes 

But still he can't be seen 

Then their lips meet for the first time 

And this life's a dream 



Under full moon, playing with his friends 

At a time when nothing seems to end 

Take a look around, isn't this great 

At a time when growing up can wait 



Thanks to stupidguy182@hotmail.com for these lyrics



Same old routines can get pretty boring 

Got you caught in a rut 

Small boys love all the small things 

Life gets funny 

Does the things that you're not 



This life's a dream 

Don't want to sleep 

Cause I'm wide awake 

And what a life
