[VERONICA]
Fine!
We?re ?damaged?
Really ?damaged?
But that does not make us ?wise?
We?re not ?special?, we?re not ?different?
We don?t choose who lives or dies
Let?s be normal, see bad movies
Sneak a beer and watch TV
We?ll bake brownies or go bowling
Don?t you want a life with me?
Can?t we be seventeen?
That?s all I want to do
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
People hurt us

[J.D.]
Or they vanish

[VERONICA]
And you?re right, that really blows
But we let go?

[J.D.]
Take a deep breath

[VERONICA]
Then go buy some summer clothes
We'll go camping?

[J.D.]
Play some poker

[VERONICA]
And we?ll eat some chili fries
Maybe prom night

[J.D.]
Maybe dancing

[VERONICA]
Don't stop looking in my eyes

[J.D.]
Your eyes

[BOTH]
Can't we be seventeen
Is that so hard to do?
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right

[VERONICA]
So what?s it gonna be?
I wanna be with you

[J.D.]
I wanna be with you

[VERONICA]
Wanna be with you

[BOTH]
Tonight

[VERONICA]
Yeah we?re damaged

[J.D.]
Badly damaged

[BOTH]
But your love?s too good to lose

[VERONICA]
Hold me tighter

[J.D.]
Even closer

[VERONICA]
I?ll stay if I?m what you choose

[J.D.]
Can we be seventeen?

[VERONICA]
If I am what you choose

[J.D.]
If we've still got the right

[VERONICA]
?Cause you?re the one I choose

[J.D.]
You?re the one I choose

[BOTH]
You?re the one I choose
