Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
My daddy says
that life comes at you fast
We all like blades of grass
We come to prime
and in time we just wither away
And it all changes
My view with a looking glass
won't catch the past
Only photographs remind us
of the passing of days
Oh nothing stays the same
from yesteryears
See I recall being afraid
of the dark
And holding on to teddy bears
I'd wrap myself in blankets
just to cover me from fears
That was then and now I'm here
And the night is mine
So hear me scream
I was too young to understand
what it means
I couldn't wait
til I could be seventeen
I thought he lied
when he said take
my time to dream
Now I wish I could freeze
the time at seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I'm Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze
the time at seventeen
My mother said don't forget
where you come from
where you've been
Always keep your closest friends
they can't slip away
They keep you grounded
Oh keep yourself surrounded
with good advice
And yeah I guess
that sounded nice
when I was ten
Oh but never were
there truer words
In all my days I've ever heard
And when she told me
little girl the answer is love
So those are words
that I keep with me
Though the seasons change
so quickly
Keep them buried in my heart
And never fought
So hear me scream
I was too young to understand
what it means
I couldn't wait
til I could be seventeen
I thought she lied when she said
take my time to breathe
Now I wish I could freeze
the time at seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I'm Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze
the time at seventeen
I been goin on I been growin up
I'm a know it all
I don't know enough
See I was racing
and waiting for the day
that I would be old enough
Guess I'll be patient
and pace myself gotta
prepare for when goings rough
I was too young to understand
what it means
I couldn't wait
til I could be seventeen
I thought she lied when she said
take my time to breathe
Now I wish I could freeze
the time at seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I'm Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze
the time at seventeen
