I heard you got your license last week Just like you always talked about
And yeah, I'm so excited for you
To finally drive yourself around
But today I drove off to college
And that's why I'm not around

[Verse 2]
And yeah I'm with that blonde girl
The one you worried about
She's the same age as me
And in the same phase I'm in now, yeah
Today I drove off to college 'cause
Don't we all just become someone else?

[Chorus]
And I know that you're hurting
'Cause you never fеlt this way for no one
And it's hard to imagine but
I know you'll be okay now that I'm gonе
I heard everything in your song that blew up about me
But nothing's forever, especially when you're seventeen

[Verse 3]
If all your friends are tired
Then tell 'em I don't miss you
I don't feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know what you put me through
Yeah, today I drove off to college
And I left behind all of the pictures I had of you

[Chorus]
And I know that you're hurting
'Cause you never felt this way for no one
And it's hard to imagine but
I know you'll be okay now that I'm gone
I heard everything in your song that blew up about me
But nothing's forever, especially when you're seventeen

[Bridge]
Green lights, long nights
A thousand miles away from your driveway front yard
That look on your face when I told you it's not you
No, it's me and my heart that changed
You thought sidewalks go in the same direction
But I just had to leave and let you go
Never meant to hurt you but life moves on and we do the same

[Chorus]
And I know that you're hurting
'Cause you never felt this way for no one
And it's hard to imagine but
I know you'll be okay now that I'm gone
I heard everything in your song that blew up about me
But nothing's forever, especially when you're seventeen
