Seventeen
The streetlight flickers, feels like a god
You pick me up at the normal spot
Passing the schools we shed our skins in
I've been so afraid all my life
But you make it all right with your hand between my thighs
Squeeze tight at the stoplight
Run a red, feel alive with me
Midas on your tongue, sugar between your teeth
This is what real life means
I don't wanna be seventeen
Rolling at the sidelines of the home teams
Disparate images, broken scenes
Settle into stasis, give up on my dreams
Look to the sky and it's nothing but quiet
Run from the party I feel like I'm dying
This is supposed to be the time of my life
But there's nothing inside
No there's nothing inside
Daddy comes home really late
And mama chews him out but he doesn't say a thing
Sent to bed when the headlights flood the windows
How long has this town been home and harm
Lilting up the lit streets arm in arm
Take a sip, stay awake with me
See stars when your hand slides in my jeans
Living in the dream
I don't wanna be seventeen
Rolling at the sidelines of the home teams
Disparate images, broken scenes
Settle into stasis, give up on my dreams
Look to the sky and it's nothing but quiet
Run from the party I feel like I'm dying
This is supposed to be the time of my life
But there's nothing inside
No there's nothing inside
I don't wanna be seventeen
I don't wanna be seventeen
You pick me up at the normal spot
Passing the schools we shed our skins in
I've been so afraid all my life
But you make it all right with your hand between my thighs
Squeeze tight at the stoplight
Run a red, feel alive with me
Midas on your tongue, sugar between your teeth
This is what real life means
I don't wanna be seventeen
Rolling at the sidelines of the home teams
Disparate images, broken scenes
Settle into stasis, give up on my dreams
Look to the sky and it's nothing but quiet
Run from the party I feel like I'm dying
This is supposed to be the time of my life
But there's nothing inside
No there's nothing inside
Daddy comes home really late
And mama chews him out but he doesn't say a thing
Sent to bed when the headlights flood the windows
How long has this town been home and harm
Lilting up the lit streets arm in arm
Take a sip, stay awake with me
See stars when your hand slides in my jeans
Living in the dream
I don't wanna be seventeen
Rolling at the sidelines of the home teams
Disparate images, broken scenes
Settle into stasis, give up on my dreams
Look to the sky and it's nothing but quiet
Run from the party I feel like I'm dying
This is supposed to be the time of my life
But there's nothing inside
No there's nothing inside
I don't wanna be seventeen
I don't wanna be seventeen
