She's Got a Boyfriend Now
We were 17 and invincibleHad the world figured out and the girl on my shoulder told me"Everything’s gonna be alright"And everything was gonna be alright
Yeah, maybe we were in high schoolBut you never see the ending when you’re young, in lovePretending singing, "everything’s gonna be alright"And everything was gonna be alright
Buried her deep insideStars stuck in my eyes
Now she’s got a boyfriend and I’ve got a rock bandGuess nothing really ever goes the way it’s plannedShe’s in Ohio and I’m on some back roadDriving to the city and then who knows
Guess that’s all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car aroundBut she’s got a boyfriend now
Then I took a trip out to LAFor the girl with a smile that could take your breath awayI’m thinking, "everything’s gonna be alright"And everything was gonna be alright
Maybe I thought I could sweep inAnd sweep her off her feet and blow right back to BostonThinking, "everything's gonna be alright"And everything was gonna be alright
The streets keep rolling onBut now she’s so far gone
Now she’s got a boyfriend and I’ve got a rock bandGuess nothing really ever goes the way it’s plannedShe’s on the West Coast and I’m on some back roadDriving to the city and then who knows
Guess that’s all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car aroundBut she’s got a boyfriend now
Take me back to you somehow with everything that I knowNow it’s so hard, I tore us apartTake me back to feeling like the world would just keepDealing me the right cards, now you’re just so far
And I’m 23 and invincibleGot the world figured out and the bird on my shoulder told me"Everything's gonna be alright"But is everything gonna be alright?
Now she’s got a boyfriend and I’ve got a rock bandGuess nothing really ever goes the way it’s plannedShe’s in Ohio and I’m on some back roadDriving to the city and then who knows
Guess that’s all she wrote
I wish that I could turn this car around‘Cause there she goesI wish that I could press rewind somehow‘Cause she’s got a boyfriend now
