We made bracelets together
I strung lyrics to a song that we both love
And you told me months later
That you hear it and the memories just flood
It was you and all our friends
On a well lit Friday night
The best time to be seventeen's
When confetti's all that's falling from the sky
You said it chills your body
When you hear the first few notes of that ole song
And I'm glad that you're happy
Even if it means you're happy when I'm gone
I'm finding my new crowd
And they're filling up my heart
But my bracelet sits real pretty on the gearshift of my car
And that's alright
Just a little different now
We'll be alright
Just a little different now
I think I've taken for granted
Knowing all the names in stories that you tell
Soon you'll be off to college
And I'll write a letter wishing you well
Selfishly I hope that I'll sneak into your mind
And you'll tell me 'bout the strangers that've come into your life
I think that's alright
Just a little different now
We'll be alright
Just a little different now
Oh oh
Oh oh oh
One day years in the future
When it doesn't really matter anymore
You'll stumble on a picture
Of the two of us with my hand placed in yours
I hope you softly hear
In the depths of your mind
The song on my bracelet
That holds memories left behind
And that'll be alright
