Lyrics:

The time has come again
Slowly walking down the steps

To where she would have been
If only they were 17

Waiting patiently
And stood between a fraying seam

Hiding from himself
As well as everybody else

Without permission, his face became wet
He thought that he'd learnt how to not get upset
From folded notes in envelopes
"Meet me beneath the moon, don't go too soon"
She went too soon

The time has come again
Slowly walking down the steps

To where she would have been
If only they were 17
