Alessia Cara - Seventeen lyrics
rate me(Intro)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, x 2
(Verse)
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 lookin glass won’t catch the past
Only photographs remind us of the passin of days
Oh nothin stays the same from yesteryears
See I recall bein afraid of the dark
And holdin 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 till I could be seventeen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to drea
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I’m 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
(Verse)
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
Ooh keep yourself surrounded with good advice
And yeah I guess that sounded nice when I was 10
Oh but never were there true words
And I’ll 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 em buried in my heart
And never fought
(Chorus)
[Bridge]
I been going on, I been growing up
I’m a know it all, I don’t know enough
See I was racin and waitin for the day that I would be old enough
Guess I’ll be patient and pace myself gotta prepare for when goin rough
(Chorus)
