Shiina Ringo - 17 lyrics

rate me

now i'm seventeen

my school is in the country

students wear trainers

read the same magazines

now i'm seventeen

my school is getting tiresome

teachers - they're so young

singling me out

only like philosophy & after school the time

that's what i call my own time

nice girls meet nice boys end of school day

while other girls go strait home

talking 'bout soaps'n' that

i go home alone

like it watching the nameless people

surfing subways, travelling somewhere

"...nowhere..."

now i'm seventeen

i do not have a title

depend on no one else

busy being kind (to myself)

i go home alone

and have dinner in my sweet home

praying again, again & again

"...peace..."

i see the same faces in school & they say that i am different

i think it's an honour

i say it's an honour to B different

i can't go their way

now i'm seventeen

"...seventeen..."
