Seventeen
Seventeen, I used to think that our lives were evergreen
But we'll grow old and we'll grow up and we'll never see
Each other like we did when we had everything, everything
I'm only seventeen, thinking about colleges and wedding rings
And maybe I'm just paranoid but I can't sleep
I'm worried that I'll see my future in my dreams, my dreams
Peeling away layers of my brain
The only things that get to stay are blots and stains
That I can't seem to get off, like my idealistic ways
Of thinking about love and yesterdays
Don't want to look forward so I'll just hold myself back
Standing on the border of ecstasy and the lack, of it
Burning passion is eating up my thoughts and I love it
Am I really being unhealthy
If my vices are smiling and trying to tell me
That everything will be okay
Why would I want them to go away
After all
I'm just seventeen, I used to think that our lives were evergreen
But we'll grow old and we'll grow up and we'll never see
Each other like we did when we had everything, everything
I'm only seventeen, thinking about colleges and wedding rings
And maybe I'm just paranoid but I can't sleep
I'm worried that I'll see my future in my dreams, my dreams
I don't see my present self in any reflections
My eyes are still young, and my smile is twelve again
Does it mean that I'm naïve and can't make connections
If I'm not writing songs about heartbreak and hating myself again
I'm looking forward to looking back and thinking that I'm better now
But that time hasn't come yet, it might come when I settle down
Maybe I'll feel like a child forever
For some that would be torture, for some that would be better
My mind is a fountain of youth
So only my heart can tell me the truth
Am I really being unhealthy
If my vices are smiling and trying to tell me
That everything will be okay
Why would I want them to go away
I've got time
I'm seventeen, I used to think that our lives were evergreen
But we'll grow old and we'll grow up and we'll never see
Each other like we did when we had everything, everything
I'm only seventeen, thinking about colleges and wedding rings
And maybe I'm just paranoid but I can't sleep
I'm worried that I'll see my future in my dreams, my dreams
But we'll grow old and we'll grow up and we'll never see
Each other like we did when we had everything, everything
I'm only seventeen, thinking about colleges and wedding rings
And maybe I'm just paranoid but I can't sleep
I'm worried that I'll see my future in my dreams, my dreams
Peeling away layers of my brain
The only things that get to stay are blots and stains
That I can't seem to get off, like my idealistic ways
Of thinking about love and yesterdays
Don't want to look forward so I'll just hold myself back
Standing on the border of ecstasy and the lack, of it
Burning passion is eating up my thoughts and I love it
Am I really being unhealthy
If my vices are smiling and trying to tell me
That everything will be okay
Why would I want them to go away
After all
I'm just seventeen, I used to think that our lives were evergreen
But we'll grow old and we'll grow up and we'll never see
Each other like we did when we had everything, everything
I'm only seventeen, thinking about colleges and wedding rings
And maybe I'm just paranoid but I can't sleep
I'm worried that I'll see my future in my dreams, my dreams
I don't see my present self in any reflections
My eyes are still young, and my smile is twelve again
Does it mean that I'm naïve and can't make connections

And maybe I'm just paranoid but I can't sleep
I'm worried that I'll see my future in my dreams, my dreams
