17
I was only 17
Dreamt of being on a silver screen
I was only 17
When I met you
Living in the haze made by
Loved ones who had raised me
I knew where I had to be, but I wasn't there yet
But when I fall asleep, I fall back home
And when I close my eyes
I find that there's more to life than I've known
And when I hear my stranger in my own bed
I know that there's more to this life then
Thought you were the only one who knew me
I was a stranger in my own heart
And when you left, I thought I never would recover
The mask that I hid under blew apart
But growing up isn't growing hard
It's realising that we're part of the stars
So much love and so much that I've yet to see
But I'm not who I thought I'd be
At 17
But when I fall asleep, I fall back home
And when I close my eyes
I find that there is more to life than I've known
And when I hear my stranger in my own bed
I know that there's more to this life then
Do you fight it?
Do you keep on running away?
Do you fight it?
Is this all you thought you could take?
Do you fight it?
Do you really want that or were you told to be
Someone else at 17?
Dreamt of being on a silver screen
I was only 17
When I met you
Living in the haze made by
Loved ones who had raised me
I knew where I had to be, but I wasn't there yet
But when I fall asleep, I fall back home
And when I close my eyes
I find that there's more to life than I've known
And when I hear my stranger in my own bed
I know that there's more to this life then
Thought you were the only one who knew me
I was a stranger in my own heart
And when you left, I thought I never would recover
The mask that I hid under blew apart
But growing up isn't growing hard
It's realising that we're part of the stars
So much love and so much that I've yet to see
But I'm not who I thought I'd be
At 17
But when I fall asleep, I fall back home
And when I close my eyes
I find that there is more to life than I've known
And when I hear my stranger in my own bed
I know that there's more to this life then
Do you fight it?
Do you keep on running away?
Do you fight it?
Is this all you thought you could take?
Do you fight it?
Do you really want that or were you told to be
Someone else at 17?
