I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in   I was only waiting 'round for something to begin   I was only seventeen   I told you that it didn't mean a thing...      Feels like a million years ago   Small town where everybody knows   Everything about everybody else      Way back when there wasn't you and me   I guess I was still naive   And the moment was as far as I could see      (Chorus)   I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in   I was only waiting 'round for something to begin   I was only seventeen   I told you that it didn't mean a thing...      Why can't you just love me?   Please, don't push too hard   The truth you think you're after   Might just break your heart      Someone who I thought was my friend   But sometimes people just pretend   And I will never be the same again      (Chorus)   I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in   I was only waiting 'round for something to begin   I was only seventeen   I told you that it didn't mean a thing...      Why can't you just love me?   Please, don't push too hard   The truth you think you're after   Might just break your heart      I'm sure there's things you'd rather keep inside   I won't ask you about all the things you've tried   Don't let yesterday get in the way   Why can't we just start from where we are?      (Chorus)   I was only tryin to keep the wall from closing in   I was only waiting 'round for something to begin   I was only seventeen   I told you that it didn't mean a thing...      Why can't you just love me?   Please, don't push too hard   The truth you think you're after   Might just break my heart....
