When I Was Seventeen Lyrics

Saint Etienne When I Was Seventeen

When I was seventeen
My heart and head was full of brilliant dreams
Assembled in the light of the day
That seems so far away, away...

And now, when I was seventeen
When I was seventeen
I felt we knew everything
We knew everything

No responsibility
Endless possibility
What on earth could possibly hurt me

Space and light and dreams
That's all people need and a place to sleep
The music and the songs that you play
Sound so far away, away...
Away...

Now, when I was seventeen
When I was seventeen I felt we knew everything
We knew everything
When I was seventeen I felt we knew everything

When I was seventeen
When I was seventeen
When I was seventeen
