lyrics

17
That just
Isn't me
I'm just
A lovely kid
Wondering
Who I'm meant to be.
17
That just
Wasn't me
It just
Cannot be
That I'm growing up.
B3cause at this point in my life
I'm still stuck behind textbooks and hopeless love life's
Because at this point in my life
I'm a novel with pages torn and no pen to write
Photo books
and my
toothless looks
and our
family
Grown up from old memories
Expectations
And new
Destinations
And some
Old friends
Thinking
It just Cannot be.
Because at this point in my life
I'm still stuck behind summer and endless bike rides
At this point in my life
I'm blindsided by the moment.
How can I be 16
And feel the nostalgia of someone much older than me?
Is this what it feels to be
17?
Or am I lost
Looking into the future
Am I gone?
I'm blindsided by the moment
And that's causing me to force it
And it just Cannot be
That I'm almost 17.
