17

[Verse 1]
Kiss the nape of my back
And lay me down in the silence
I like the way you take me out
Half my end turns to violence

[Chorus]
I love you
Young blind and dumb
And you love me
Upside and down
Still darling, still we can be 17

[Verse 2]
Feels like the day that we met
The bite of frost on the sidewalk
The morning glare, the nervous calm
The need to touch, the fear to talk

[Chorus]
Oh I love you
Young blind and dumb
And you love me
Upside and down

Love you, young blind and dumb
And you love me, upside and down
Still darling, still we can be 17

[Verse 3]
Grandfather talks, the fire pops
The floor creaks in a chorus
How was your day? I missed your face
But I light up when that door opens
I hate Wisconsin, the heaters broken
I miss my home on the Pacific
But I'll push through it, we all get homesick
But this is home now, because you're in it

[Chorus]
And I love you
You love me
I love you, young blind and dumb
And you love me upside and down
Love you, young blind and dumb
And you love me, upside and down
Still darling, we can be
Still darling, we can be 17
