Next Time I'm Seventeen
James Blunt Lyrics


It was the year of '91
Freddy Mercury was gone
And Nevermind was playing on our radios
We were only seventeen
I would park out on your street
Wait for dark to see you
Climbing out your window
Something's gone wrong with the weather
There's a storm out in the desert
But to us that all seemed very far away

Sometimes, when I
Think about those days it makes me wonder
What went by

Oh yeah, left me breathless
She was so damn wild
Sometimes I think those were the
Best days of our lives (Ohh)
We were young and reckless
Too soon, out of time
Next time I'm seventeen
I won't be left behind
She would still be mine
She would still be mine

While the Iron Curtain fell
We were lying in a field
Shared the gin and cigarettes I'd
Stolen from my dad
We both knew what would happen next
In my cherry red AX
Did she know she was the best I'd ever had
Said we'd always be together
That we'd stay this way forever
The future seemed so very far away

Sometimes, when I
Think about those days it makes me wonder
What went by

Oh yeah, left me breathless
She was so damn wild
Sometimes I think those were the
Best days of our lives (Ohh)
We were young and reckless
Too soon, out of time
Next time I'm seventeen
I won't be left behind
She would still be mine

You must be married now
In some suburban house are you happy now?
Do you ever think back to those times?
It was so innocent
Do you ever meet me in your mind?

Oh yeah, she left me breathless
She was so damn wild
Sometimes I think those were the
Best days of our lives
We were young and reckless
Too soon, out of time
Next time I'm seventeen
I won't be left behind
And she would still be mine

(Oh yeah, she was) she'd still be mine
(Sometimes) still be mine
(Best days of our lives)
We were young and reckless
Too soon, out of time
Next time I'm seventeen
I won't be left behind
She would still be mine

This should've been a single and it wasn't even on the album! It's catchy as f*ck and his voice sounds gorgeous.

ahhh my 18th birthday is in less than a month and i feel like being 17 has been a total waste. My 17th birthday was 2 weeks before the first coronavirus lockdown and i've just felt trapped since then. I feel like this was the year I would have had the most freedom with the least responsibility, and I feel like I'm so unprepared for being an adult. I used to listen to this song a lot when I was little and it made me so excited to be 17. I know we're still gonna be in lockdown by my birthday in march which is just so depressing. I wish I could have this year back and actually live it.
