lyrics

The church bells on Sunday sang us a song
One of untimely exits, and something’s gone wrong,
And I can’t and I won’t fight these tears anymore
My heart is too shattered my eyes are too sore

So we’ll gather around and we’ll talk amongst friends
We’ll laugh about the good times, and weep about the end
And we’ll ask you what made you do this to yourself
Why couldn’t we have been there if you needed help

So here’s to you, friend, you’re gonna stay 17, up in your
milhouse you’re finally free
From evils that plagued you in this cold world below
I know you’re happy there but its so sad to see you go

So we’ll flock to the overpass, sleepless unrest
To light candles above the highway where you took
your last breathe
And it was just so hard, to see your mother there
Begging for son back in hopeless despair
She said, son how could you do this to yourself
Why couldn’t I have been there when you needed help

So here’s to you, son, you're gonna stay 17, up in your milhouse you’re finally free
From the evils that plagued you in this cold world bellow
I know you’re happy there, but it kills me to see you go

He said dry those tears love, I’m sorry too
I’ll see you when your sunsets and we’ll start a new
Let this cold rain remind you, I still live in your heart
I'll be waiting here patiently, the day you depart
So heres to you love, you're gonna stay 17
