We were seventeen and invincible
Had the world figured out
And the girl on my shoulder told me,
"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright (woah-oh)"

Yea maybe we were in high school
But you never see the ending
When you're young and not pretending singin',
"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright"

Buried her deepest sigh
Stars don't clear my eyes

Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rockband
There's nothing really happy
'Cause the way you split
Yea she's in Ohio
And I'm on some back road
Driving to this city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote,
"Wish that I could turn this car around"
But she's got a boyfriend now

And I took a trip out to L.A.
For the girl with a smile
That could take your breathe away I'm thinkin',
"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright (woah-oh)"

Maybe I thought I could sweep it
And sweep her off her feet
And go right back to Boston thinkin',
"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)
And everything was gonna be alright"

The streets keep holding on
But now she's so far gone

Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rockband
There's nothing really happy
'Cause the way you split
Yea she's on the west coast
And I'm on some back road
Driving to this city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote
"Wish that I could turn this car around"
But she's got a boyfriend now

Take it back two years from now
With everything that I know
Now it's so hard
I tore us apart
Taking back the feeling that the world
Will just keep dealing me the right cards
Now you're just so far and I'm

Twenty-three and invincible
Got the world figured out
And the bird on my shoulder told me,
"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)
But is everything gon' be alright?"

Now she's got a boyfriend
And I've got a rockband
There's nothing really happy
'Cause the way you split
Yea she's in Ohio
And I'm on some back road
Coming to this city and then who knows
Cause that's all she wrote,
"Wish that I could turn this car around"
'Cause there she goes
I wish that I could press rewind somehow
But she's got a boyfriend now

'Cause she's got a boyfriend now
