everything's ablaze
everything is crashing down upon
the dreams I had of seventeen
did I miss a boat?
did I miss the ark of fulfillment?
was i distracted by routine?
OoOoO
it's a marathon
but I'm sucking wind after a mile
my hands are clenching tired knees
but there's nothing wrong
that isn't all in my head
my second wind is just a breeze
my baby
she makes it right
when everything's wrong
my baby
she makes it right
when I make it wrong
and I feel ashamed
when I start thinking like nothing's
going like I planned
because nothing's planned
and my own sense of direction
can't move me from where I stand
OoOoO
my baby…she makes it right
when everything's wrong
my baby…she makes it right
when I make it wrong
everything's ablaze
everything is crashing around me
but I feel like I'm seventeen
I've got the girl of my dreams
and we're eating ice cream
looking forward to the world unseen
OoOoO
OoOoO
my baby…she makes it right
when everything's wrong
my baby she makes it right
when everything's wrong
