Lyrics
Oh I was 17
When I heard the countdown start
It started slowly
I thought it was my heart
But then I realised
This time it was for real
There was no place to hide
I had to go out and feel
But there was time to kill
I walked my way round town
I tried to love the world
But the world just got me down
Oh, so I looked for you
In every street, of every town
I wanna see your face
I wanna, I wanna see you now
Yeah, I wanna see you now
And so it went
So it went for several years
I couldn't stand it
Oh, it must be getting near
Oh no, you just don't know
No you just don't understand
How many times I've seen you
In the arms of some other man
I've got to meet you and find you
And take you by the hand
My God! My God
You've got to understand
That I was 17
I didn't know a thing at all
I've got no reason
No reason at all, oh no
Oh, time of my life
I think you came too soon
(You came too soon there)
And it could be tonight
If I ever leave this room
I never leave this room
Oh oh oh, wasting all my time on all those stupid things
That only get me down (Get down, oh!)
Oh, and the sky is crying out tonight
For me to leave this town
So I'm gonna go
Really
Bye Bye
Yeah, you can leave me
You can go some other place
You can forget it
Oh, that's OK
Because I own this town
I brought it to its knees
Can't you hear it crying, yeah?
Can you hear it begging to me, "please"?
I know it's coming, so soon now
It's on its way, oh no
My God! My God
I can hear them say
They say it's all a lie
They'll say I'll never leave the ground
They say I can't survive
And it's coming down
Oh baby, now please
Oh, time of my life
I think you came too soon
(Yeah, you came too soon there)
And it could be tonight
If I ever leave this room
I never leave this room
Oh oh oh, wasting all my time on all these stupid things
That only get me down (Get down, oh!)
Oh, and the sky is crying out tonight
For me to leave this town
So I'm gonna go, yeah
Really
See ya
Bye Bye
That's OK, you don't have to care
Really, really I swear
You owe nothing
You owe nothing to me
And if I mess it up, babe, then
Then that's all up to me
And if you go
Then I won't follow, no
Oh, so many times I've been thinking
I've been thinking maybe I should
No, I'm gonna stay
I'm gonna make my way
I'm gonna get on through, babe
I'm gonna make it all some day
Oh baby now, time of my life
I think you came too soon
(Yeah, you came too soon babe)
And it could be tonight
Oh if I ever leave this room
(I never ever leave this room)
Oh oh oh, wasting all my time on all those stupid things
That only get me down (Get down, oh!)
Oh and the sky is crying out tonight
For me to leave this town
I'm gonna leave this town, oh
Now baby now time is crying out tonight
For me to leave this town
I'm gonna leave this town
Now baby now time is crying out tonight
For me to leave this town
And this time, this time I'm gonna go
I'm gonna leave this town, oh
I'm not gonna hang around no, oh
Time and fire and movement will never ever laugh, oh
Me and stars and moon are falling down
