The sun has blessed
The rays are gone
And all the kids have left their tears
And gone home
Sweet 17, sour 29
And I can't explain myself
What I hoped to find
You were all so kind
When I was near

And if you're still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To love and hold you
Don't say I hadn't told you so
Maybe you need around

I had no luck
I had no shame
I had no cause, just 17 days of rain
And you in my eyes

Just one more song
To slay this earth
And I can't explain myself,
Just what its worth
It was all I had
But not all I need
And I can't escape the fact
That I still bleed

And if you're still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To let them scold you
And say I hadn't told you so
Maybe you need me around

I had no voice
I had no drive
I had no choice
I done my time
I had myself
I had my band
I had my love
I had no hand in watching it all
Fall apart

And if you're still feeling down
Then maybe you need me around
To love and hold you
Don't say I hadn't told you so
Maybe you need me around
