You are young and I am scared, you're wise beyond your years but I don't care

We're one mistake from being together But let's not ask why it's not right You won't be seventeen forever And we can get away with this tonight

The lyrics to the song Seventeen Forever might be the best lyrics ever written.
Every line could easily be copy-pasted into one of those tumblr posts that generates
16.000 reblogs because every single American teenager can feel those words to the
core of their hearts. It's my favourite kind of poetry, it's so simple but at the same time it's
more true than any complicated and witty Morrissey lyrics which, let's face it, are noting
but pure crap.
