Turning seventeen and you're bursting at the seams to run
Torn up jeans come undone
Sneaking out of sight of mom and dad to grab a smoke
Oh but they know, they know
And summer's gonna leave you stranded with your toes in the pool
Lover's gonna leave before you say you love them too
Counting all the stars in the heavens up above won't tell you how they shine
Just killing time
Turning twenty-nine and the years have been unkind they say
Aches and pains won't go away
Pour another drink and think about your wasted youth
Like a rotting tooth, ain't it the truth
And summer's gonna leave you stranded with your toes in the pool
Lover's gonna leave before you say you love them too
Counting all the stars in the heavens up above won't tell you how they shine
Just killing time
Killing time, killing time
Killing time ain't a victimless crime
Turning seventeen and you're bursting at the seams to run
Torn up jeans come undone
Sneaking out of sight of mom and dad to grab a smoke
Oh but they know, they know
They know, They always know
