17 ft. The Techno Hall of Fame Lyrics

I have stared at the moon when it wanes, when it bleeds

I have sat in the dark thinking terrible things

With the van pulling in, the headlights on the trees

Man, the car gets so quiet when you pull out the keys

Before you say a word come stand on the edge with me

We came all the way out here, the city looks so pretty

Looking down thinking "It could be so easy.

Will I ever be as happy as seventeen?"

As seventeen

I have written a million words I'll never say

I have spilled myself out and then tucked it away

And the dawn's pouring in and I'm lying awake

If I close my eyes tight I can still see your face

Before you say goodbye, sitting down by the water

With the sunlight in your eyes. I could make this last forever,

If I tried - you know it could be so easy

Will I ever be as happy as seventeen?

As seventeen
