Lake Street Dive - Seventeen [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Look at those lights behind the trees
Don't the highway sound like the ocean?
Lookin' at you right next to me
The stillness feels like emotion

I got the feelin'
You got the feelin'
Don't you know what I mean?

We're giddy like high school down by the pool
At the hotel in the sea
If I didn't know all the things you done
I'd swear that I need ya

I got the feelin'
You got the feelin'
But I know where you been

I wish I would have met you
When I was seventeen
Before I seen the things that I seen
Before I learned to look behind the screen
I think we could have had a good time

Well I used to get down in any town
Any time I got the notion
Follow each girl to the end of the world
No, I never looked down

Now I'm up above with a feelin' of love
I got my arms around you
And the weight of the band on my left hand
You know it keeps me on the ground

I got the feelin'
You got the feelin'
Don't you know what I mean?

I wish I'd met you
When I was seventeen
Before I kept my hands so clean
Before you went and made some fool your queen
I think we could have had a good time
