Forever Seventeen

It's been a really long time since I heard a song that spoke to me so eloquently the moment I heard it.
Thank you Tim McGraw for summing it up and saying it SO well.

 Let's be honest, you're not flawless
 But you're as close as anything I've seen
 You're not the woman you envisioned
 But your life is not a broken time machine
 No, it's not that bad
 You know it's really not that bad

 A little midnight chardonnay
 Smooth the edges off the day
 A little taste of maryjane
 Makes you feel young again
 oh those years around your eyes
 Always take you by surprise
 You've been living in a dream
 Forever seventeen

 A reckless lover, a father figure
 You search for both in every man you meet
 You're not a mother and sometimes you wonder
 If a son or daughter just might make you feel complete
 But no, you don't need someone else
 You know it's hard enough to learn to love yourself

 A little midnight chardonnay
 Smooth the edges off the day
 A little taste of maryjane
 Makes you feel young again
 oh, those years around your eyes
 Always take you by surprise
 You've been living in a dream
 Forever seventeen

 A little midnight chardonnay
 Smooth the edges off the day
 A little taste of maryjane
 Makes you feel young again
 oh, those years around your eyes
 Always take you by surprise
 You've been living in a dream
 Forever seventeen
