[VERONICA]
Fine!
We’re “damaged”
Really “damaged”
But that does not make us “wise”
We’re not “special”, we’re not “different”
We don’t choose who lives or dies
Let’s be normal, see bad movies
Sneak a beer and watch tv
We’ll bake brownies or go bowling
Don’t you want a life with me?
Can’t we be seventeen?
That’s all I want to do
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
People hurt us
[J.D.]
Or they vanish
[VERONICA]
And you’re right, that really blows
But we let go –
[J.D.]
Take a deep breath
[VERONICA]
Then go buy some summer clothes
We’ll go camping –
[J.D.]
Play some poker
[VERONICA]
And we’ll eat some chili fries
Maybe prom night
[J.D.]
Maybe dancing
[VERONICA]
Don’t stop looking in my eyes
[J.D.]
Your eyes
[VERONICA]
Can’t we be seventeen
Is that so hard to do?
[BOTH]
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right
[VERONICA]
So what’s it gonna be?
I wanna be with you
[J.D.]
I wanna be with you
[VERONICA]
Wanna be with you
[BOTH]
Tonight
[VERONICA]
Yeah we’re damaged
[J.D.]
Badly damaged
[BOTH]
But your love’s too good to lose
[VERONICA]
Hold me tighter
[J.D.]
Even closer
[VERONICA]
I’ll stay if I’m what you choose
[J.D.]
Can we be seventeen?
[VERONICA]
If I am what you choose
[J.D.]
If we’ve still got the right
[VERONICA]
‘Cause you’re the one I choose
[J.D.]
You’re the one I choose
[BOTH]
You’re the one I choose
