Jonas - Edge Of Seventeen lyrics

rate me

(Guitar part in the beginning):

And the days go by like a strand in the wind

In the web that is my own where I begin again

Said to my friend, baby nothin' else mattered

She was no more than a baby then

Well she seemed broken hearted

Something within her

But the moment that I first laid

Eyes on her all alone on the edge of seventeen

Just like the white winged dove

sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

oh... oh... oh

Just like the white winged dove

sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

oh... oh ... oh

I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow

And the music there was hauntingly familiar

And I see you doing what I try to do for me

With the words of a poet and the voice of a choir

And a melody like nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged dove

sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

oh... oh... oh

Just like the white winged dove

sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

oh... oh... oh

And so, with the slow graceful flow of age

I went forth with an age old desire to please

On the edge of, edge of, edge of,

edge of, edge of, edge of... seventeen

Well then suddenly

there was no one left standing in the hall

In a flood of tears

no one really ever heard fall at all

Oh I went searchin' for an answer

Up the stairs and down the hall

Not to find an answer but just to hear the call

Of a nightbird singing come away-y-ay-y-ay

Just like the white winged dove

sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

oh... oh... oh

Just like the white winged dove

sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

oh... oh... oh

Just like the white winged dove

sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

oh... oh... oh

Just like the white winged dove

sings a song

Sounds like she's singing
