We were only seventeen
Summer nights and faded jeans
Down in Adelaide
Sandy hair and windy days
Hazy lights are caving in
Down in Adelaide
Falling rain and tambourine
Sleepless nights, deleted scenes
Down in Adelaide
We kissed goodbye and suddenly
I’m in Nashville, Tennessee
She’s one world away
I know it’s 9957 miles away
And if
She just pick up the phone
I’d be on a plane
And I fly, like the wind
If I could fall into her arms again
Girl, it’s tough
‘Cause I’m in love
And she’s in Adelaide
She’s in Adelaide
I haven’t seen her for a year
’Cause I’m in the snow, that atmosphere
And she’s in Adelaide
She had to stay, I had to go
And while she’s in summer I’m in snow
A world on the way
I know it’s 9957 miles away
Where I fell in love with a girl
Now I’m a world away
She never picked up her phone
Now I’m alone
And it’s tough
‘Cause I’m in love
And she’s in Adelaide
Oh, it’s 9957 miles away
And if she just pick up the phone
I’d be on a plane
And I fly, like the wind
If I could fall into her arms again
Girl, it’s tough
‘Cause I’m in love
And she’s in Adelaide
She's in Adelaide
We were only seventeen
Summer nights and faded jeans
Down in Adelaide
