when i saw you
straighten your hair
with your finger
it felt like
i knew that
gesture
from somewhere
but i couldn't remember where
i couldn't remember
the torn picture
and then
seventeen
seventeen
i remembered you
seventeen
seventeen
your warped image
it felt like
i knew
that vacant
stare
from
somewhere
i saw it somewhere
i'm sure
a long time
ago
but i couldn't remember
what you looked like
at that time
i mean
seventeen
seventeen
i remember you
seventeen
seventeen
your warped image
i didn't want
to meet you ever again
the way you
straightened your hair
with your finger
and the way
you left me
seventeen
seventeen
i remember you
seventeen
seventeen
your warped image
seventeen
sweet seventeen...
