Gone away as a wild wave Ride high on the day I've been away so long It's been nice getting to know you Well as it seems I was seventeen When I first let out on a bike ride Hit the brakes, now I'm wide awake Was it just a matter of time A year ago Can't believe that I was spinning out of control Gone away as a wild wave Ride high on the day Out on an ocean liner It's been hard seeing you go Well as for me I was seventeen When my first true love broke into my heart Castaway where I've lived for days On an island now drifting us apart Still here I go Best believe there's not a day I don't look back on
