Look at me I'm only seventeen
The many years between us
Have been broken
Look at me under the evergreen

Look at me, I'm only seventeen
It hasn't been too long
But it's been lonely
Look at me, and smell the tangerine
Life is a mellow song

By the time
You reach your lemon-lime
I will love you 'til tomorrow
Then it will last a year and a day
Maybe we're here to forget

Look at me, I'm only seventeen
It hasn't been too long
But it's been lonely
Look at me, under the evergreen
Life is a mellow song
If only only
