Academy Killer - Seventeen Lyrics

So young and innocent, still have so much life left to live
It's not meant to go like this, why can't I grow old with a wife and a kid?
This short life is all I know, I'm not ready to die, I'm not ready to go
With you here by my side, I feel all but alone

I just want to run, I just want to scream
Wake me up from this dream 'cause I don't want to die at seventeen
Scared of where I will go, don't think I want to know
One last dance here with me 'cause I don't to die at seventeen

I'm all here sound of mind, young at heart, body failing with time
I've loved, I've lost, I've cried, I've laughed, I'd kill for a breeze in the grass on my back
Hold my hand through the night, won't you be mine one last time?
So dry your eyes and smile for what we had, I lived my life with no regrets

I just want to run, I just want to scream
Wake me up from this dream 'cause I don't want to die at seventeen
Scared of where I will go, don't think I want to know
One last dance here with me 'cause I don't to die at seventeen
