Hey, kid, you've got, a lot of potential
But I think its time to move up, so go on and blow us away with your sound;
Now you're everything that we've come to love,
You taught us to move, so we'll show it off,
Just drop us the beat

Here's to the fast times; the times we felt alive;
To all the nights that we forgot to get back home.
Stay seventeen,
The party scene has got the best of me and you,
We've got to let this go

Drink up last call before the sunrise sets the scene,
Of empty bottles, heavy hearts,
The memories of broken dreams
We were so tired yet so alive,
Wrapped up in lies like sheets of another one night stand,
You know you left the girl with nothing but the,

Sunrise through the window pane, where tired eyes will close
Stay seventeen, the party scene has got the best of me and you,
We've got to let this go

I know she hopes I choke on this last drink,
Drop dead before my influence gets to her head
I'll love you forever, or find something better.
It's all just the same as when we sleep together.
We wake up with headaches, and trouble remembering
What went wrong
Stay seventeen,the party scene has got the best of me and you,
We've got to let this go

    General Comment:legit. this is all about what happened in high school when they were partying.
    i think they're kind of saying like 'dude those were the best times, i wish i could go back to 17 where all that mattered was partying and hanging out' at the same time i think they're saying like one night stands and drinking arent the best and alot of the shit they did in hs was based of lies.

    General Comment:i'll love you forever
    or find something better.
    it's all just the same as
    when we sleep together.
    we wake up with headaches,
    and trouble remembering
    what went wrong.


    i looove that.


    those people that say they love you,
    but they just are looking to have a good time for themselves and party,
    it just goes to show that they dont really care that much.
    they'll love you untill they find something better.

    Song Meaning:This is by far one of my favorite songs.
    And the meaning is quite obvious which you've all pretty much already stated.
    Highschool years are pretty carefree compared to the rest of your life
    Enjoy em now or youll regret it so much later
    party like you dont give a shit.

    "Heres to the fast times; the times we felt alive"

    "Drink up last call before the sunrise sets the scene
    of empty bottles, heavy hearts
    and the memories of broken dreams"

    FAVORITE parts of the song. so good, so good...

    General Comment:i think this song is about the band mostly. its about how their band had so much funn before they grew up or became famous and had to leave everything behind, and how theyre gunna miss theyre old life. and how hes leaving his girlfriend and shes just pissed off at him.
