Harry Teardrop - 1000 Backyard Pools Lyrics

Mountain sides and the rivers through
Flying lanterns and honeydew
Diving into the skies of blue
Hold my breath and I think of you
Taking in everything around
Grateful that I seem to have found
The warmest sounds and the summer too
Golden red and baby blue

All my life I've had a dream that I'm holding onto
All my life I've had a dream that I'm holding onto
I wanna make you proud, I just wanna make you proud
I'm gonna make you proud, I'm gonna make you proud

Just thinking about all those nights coming home from a shitty party
Realizing I didn't have anything in common with anyone there
And I stared out beyond the windshield of my old car with that A/C broken
I felt so defeated because every house looks the same and I thought I'd never leave this place
But I'm only f*cking 17 and Frank Sinatra's coming through the radio
And I told myself I'd just sleep this feeling away

All my life I've had a dream that I'm holding onto
All my life I've had a dream that I'm holding onto
I wanna make you proud, I just wanna make you proud
I'm gonna make you proud, I'm gonna make you proud

Give it some time, just give it some time, everything will be alright
(There's something innocently sweet, I'm just 17)
To all the heads in folded arms, drowning in a sea of cars
You're sinking in the shallow part
Your life has just begun to start
I know sometime's it's hard to be
But if you can, take it from me
Don't be scared of the things you haven't seen
You're just f*cking 17
