17
It's so strange to be seventeen
An odd place to be stuck between
Becoming a driver at sixteen
And a legal adult at eighteen
I've always hated changing and growing up
But in order to stop I'd have to interrupt
The growth but it would be too abrupt
And it could make the new me corrupt
This year I'll finally be in twelfth grade
I already watched twelve useless years fade
I've lost most of the friends that I've ever made
They all found new friends to them it's an upgrade
I won't let you corrupt my mind
I'm not on your time you're on mine
You think you're above me well that's fine
My mind is somewhere you won't find
I won't let you corrupt my mind
I'm not on your time you're on mine
You think you're above me well that's fine
My mind is somewhere you won't find
None of my friends from freshman year stayed the same
I guess it's true nobody can escape change
Most of them prolly don't remember my name
Most of them would say that I'm the one to blame
The pain hurts different depending on the day
I didn't know something could hurt in this way
Pain hurts different depending on what they say
I didn't know that even good things can stray
They left me all alone without a plan
I try to fix it but I'm just one man
They left me here but I don't understand
Why time has to rip them out of my hand
Time seems to escape so effortlessly
I wonder if it misses the old me
Or if future me is a better me
I guess we will just have to wait and see
I won't let you corrupt my mind
I'm not on your time you're on mine
You think you're above me well that's fine
My mind is somewhere you won't find
An odd place to be stuck between
Becoming a driver at sixteen
And a legal adult at eighteen
I've always hated changing and growing up
But in order to stop I'd have to interrupt
The growth but it would be too abrupt
And it could make the new me corrupt
This year I'll finally be in twelfth grade
I already watched twelve useless years fade
I've lost most of the friends that I've ever made
They all found new friends to them it's an upgrade
I won't let you corrupt my mind
I'm not on your time you're on mine
You think you're above me well that's fine
My mind is somewhere you won't find
I won't let you corrupt my mind
I'm not on your time you're on mine
You think you're above me well that's fine
My mind is somewhere you won't find
None of my friends from freshman year stayed the same
I guess it's true nobody can escape change
Most of them prolly don't remember my name
Most of them would say that I'm the one to blame
The pain hurts different depending on the day
I didn't know something could hurt in this way
Pain hurts different depending on what they say
I didn't know that even good things can stray
They left me all alone without a plan
I try to fix it but I'm just one man
They left me here but I don't understand
Why time has to rip them out of my hand
Time seems to escape so effortlessly
I wonder if it misses the old me
Or if future me is a better me
I guess we will just have to wait and see
I won't let you corrupt my mind
I'm not on your time you're on mine
You think you're above me well that's fine
My mind is somewhere you won't find
