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 wont 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
Id wrap myself in blankets just to cover me from fears
That was then and now Im here
And the night is mine
So hear me scream
I was too young to understand what it means
I couldnt 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
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Im seventeen
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
My mother said dont forget where you come from, where youve been
Always keep your closest friends they cant 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 Ive 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 couldnt 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
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Im seventeen
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Oh 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
Im a know it all, I dont know enough
See I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old enough
Guess Ill be patient and pace myself gotta prepare for when goings rough
I was too young to understand what it means
I couldnt 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
Im seventeen
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
