717

[Verse 1]
I see you once again, you showed me your smile
It didn't make sense, but my heart went a mile
What's it about you that made my thoughts stop suddenly
And switch to how I can please this unearthly beauty?
Flashed back to the present that must be spent without you here
How long shall I wait to finally truly say you're near?
My mind can't accept that that memory's the final thing
I will see of you because of seven hundred seventeen

[Verse 2]
Saying, "Let it begin"
But getting caught in the cycle of misdemeanors making myself lost
Maybe it's the will of God
But my feelings making me stray, feel the weight of my cross
If patience is a virtue then virtuous can't describe me well
Shoulda' had it more when it came to giving 'cause now my broken heart can't tell
What's true, what's false, are these my thoughts or faults?
My feelings for you felt true, but now I'm at a lost
You say you'd love me, but the gap's too far
Patience just ain't the way of this shining star
A million miles away is far closer than this
'Cause the hope I had in us only brought distress
Guess my flight into your love had a broken wing
'Cause all you see is seven hundred seventeen (Yeah)

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Let's take it back to a better time
When the will to try still had a working ride to care
Because your happiness was all that mattered to me
Your well-being was on my mind constantly
Alas, your wonders caught me, got me stuck in the past
Hindsight being 40'd knew it couldn't last
Checked in with the doc, no broken heart cast
To heal the pain that you made be felt, I'll pass
On the cliches saying that I'll never be okay
If that's all for now then have a good day
But I mean, this transition is for the best I see
Friendship can survive the seven hundred seventeen

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
I see you once again, you showed me your smile
It didn't make sense, but my heart went a mile
And I know that God will bless
You'll be with who you're meant to be
And I'm sure they won't mind
To go the seven hundred seventeen
