Seventeen |
| My daddy says that life comes at you fast |
| We all like blades of grass |
| We come to prime and in time we just wither away |
| And it all changes |
| My view with a looking glass won't catch the past |
| Only photographs remind us of the passing of days |
| Oh nothing stays the same from yesteryears |
| See I recall being afraid of the dark |
| And holding on to teddy bears |
| I'd wrap myself in blankets just to cover me from fears |
| That was then and now I'm here |
| And the night is mine |
| So hear me scream |
| I was too young to understand what it means |
| I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen |
| I thought he lied when he said take my time to dream |
| Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen |
| I'm Seventeen |
| Seventeen |
| Seventeen |
| Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen |
| My mother said don't forget where you’ve come from, where you’ve been |
| Always keep your closest friends they can't slip away |
| They keep you grounded |
| Oh keep yourself surrounded with good advice |
| And yeah I guess that sounded nice when I was ten |
| Oh but never were there truer words |
| In all my days I've ever heard |
| And when she told me little girl the answer is love |
| So those are words that I keep with me |
| Though the seasons change so quickly |
| Keep them buried in my heart |
| And never fought |
| So hear me scream |
| I was too young to understand what it means |
| I couldn't wait 'til I could be seventeen |
| I thought she lied when she said take my time to breathe |
| Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen |
| I'm Seventeen |
| Seventeen |
| Seventeen |
| Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen |
| I've been goin' on, I've been growin' up |
| I'm a know it all, I don't know enough |
| See I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old enough |
| Guess I'll be patient and pace myself gotta prepare for when goings rough |
| I was too young to understand what it means |
| I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen |
| I thought she lied when she said take my time to breathe |
| Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen |
| I'm Seventeen |
| Seventeen |
| Seventeen |
| Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen |
