1000 Backyard Pools

[Verse 1]
Mountain sides and the rivers through
Flying lanterns and honeydew
Diving into the skies of blue
Hold my breath and I think of you
Taking in everything around
Grateful that I seem to have found
The warmest sounds and the summer too
Golden red and the baby blue

[Chorus]
All my life I've had a dream that I’m holding on to
All my life I've had a dream that I'm holding on to
I wanna make you proud, I just wanna make you proud
I’m gonna make you proud, I'm gonna make you proud

[Bridge]
Just thinking about all those nights coming home from a shitty party
Realizing I didn't have anything in common with anyone there
And I stared out beyond the windshield of my old car with that A/C broken
I felt so defeated 'cause every house looks the same and I thought I'd never leave this place
But I'm only fucking 17 and Frank Sinatra's coming through the radio
And I told myself I'd just sleep this feeling away

[Chorus]
All my life I’ve had a dream that I’m holding on to
All my life I've had a dream that I’m holding on to
I wanna make you proud, I just wanna make you proud
I'm gonna make you proud, I'm gonna make you proud

[Refrain / Outro]
Give it some time, just give it some time, everything will be alright
Give it some time, just give it some time, everything will be alright
There's something innocently sweet and I’m just 17
There's something innocently sweet and I'm still 17
To all the heads in folded arms, drowning in a sea of cars
Give it some time, just give it some time, everything will be alright
You're sinking in the shallow part
Your life's just begun to start
Give it some time, just give it some time, everything will be alright
I know sometimes it's hard to be
But if you can, take it from me
Don't be scared of the things you haven't seen
You're just fucking 17
Give it some time, just give it some time, everything will be alright
