It was as if all the trees that late September

Couldn't bear to let go of their leaves

And I knew just how they felt

Was having trouble letting go myself

Cause love at seventeen

It's like driving into the sun

With no sunglasses on

It was shining just for us

And we knew that it would always be

But when I think about it now

Every sunrise must go down

Back then I thought you were the only one

It's funny what you can't see

Driving into the sun



It was the summer and time was in a hurry

And we couldn't grow up fast enough

And in the back seat of your car

I gave you more than just my heart

And we swore that it was love



It's like driving into the sun

With no sunglasses on

It was shining just for us

And we knew that it would always be

But when I think about it now

Every sunrise must go down

Back then I thought you were the only one

It's funny what you can't see

Driving into the sun



Oh you were such a beautiful mistake

What I wouldn't give to love again

Like I didn't know a heart could break



It's like driving into the sun

With no sunglasses on

It was shining just for us

And we knew that it would always be

But when I think about it now

Every sunrise must go down

Back then I thought you were the only one

It's funny what you can't see

Driving into the sun



Oh.. It's funny what you can't see

Driving into the sun
