[Intro]

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh


[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

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 breathe

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

I’m Seventeen

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

Seventeen

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

Seventeen

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

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 your time to breathe

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

I’m Seventeen

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

Seventeen

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

Seventeen

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen


[Bridge]

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


[Chorus]

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 your time to breathe

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

I’m Seventeen

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

Seventeen

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

Seventeen

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
