VERONICA:
Fine, we're damaged
Really damaged
But that does not make us wise
We're not special, we're not different
We don't choose who lives or dies
Let's be normal, see bad movies
Sneak a beer and watch tv
We'll bake brownies or go bowling
Don't you want a life with me?
Can we be seventeen?
That's all I want to do
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
People hurt us

J.D:
Or they vanish

VERONICA:
And you're right that really blows
But we let go,

J.D:
Take a deep breath

VERONICA:
Then go buy some summer clothes
We'll go camping,

J.D:
Play some poker

VERONICA:
And we'll eat some chilli fries
Maybe prom night

J.D:
Maybe dancing

VERONICA:
Don't stop looking in my eyes

J.D:
Your eyes

BOTH:
Can't we be seventeen
Is that so hard to do?
If you could let me in
I could be good with you
Let us be seventeen
If we still got the right

VERONICA:
So what's it gonna be
I wanna be with you

J.D:
Wanna be with you

BOTH:
I wanna be with you tonight

VERONICA:
Yeah we're damaged,

J.D:
Badly damaged

BOTH:
But your love's too good to lose

VERONICA:
Hold me tighter

J.D:
Even closer

VERONICA:
I'll stay if I'm what you choose

J.D:
Can we be seventeen?

VERONICA:
If I am what you choose

J.D:
If we still have the right

VERONICA:
Because you're the one I choose

J.D:
You're the one I choose

BOTH:
You're the one I choose.
