(Whoa)
(Whoa)
We were seventeen and invincible
Had the world figured out and the girl on my shoulders
Told me everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa-oh)
Yeah maybe we were in high school
But you never see the ending
When you're young and not pretending
Singing everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
Buried her deep inside
Stars go kill my eyes
Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
Then I took a trip out to LA
For the girl with a smile that could take your breath away
I'm thinking everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa-oh)
Maybe I thought I could sweep in and
Sweep her off her feet and go right back to Boston
Thinking everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright
(Whoa-oh)
The streets keep holding on but now she's so far gone
Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah she's on the west coast and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
But she's got a boyfriend now
Take me back to you somehow
And everything that I know now it's so hard
I tore us apart
Take me back to feeling like the world
Would just keep dealing me the right cards
Now you're just so far
And I'm 23 and invincible
Got the world figured out and a bird on my shoulders
Told me everything's gon' be alright
(Whoa-oh)
And when is everything gonna be alright?
Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rock band
Cause nothing really ever goes the way it's planned
Yeah she's in Ohio and I'm on some back road
Driving to the city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around
Cause then she goes
I wish that I could press rewind somehow
But she's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
She's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
She's got a boyfriend now
(Whoa)
good song! (:
i think it means that when they were dating he thought they'd be together forever. but then reality set in and they broke up. now he's 23 and wishes he still had her. she has a boyfriend and lives in ohio. he lives in boston and has a rockband. he's basically saying nothing ever goes as planned (:
