Ohh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Ohh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

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
+
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 dream
+
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
+
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
+
Oh oh oh oh
+
I'm Seventeen
+
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
+
Oh oh oh oh
+
Seventeen
+
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
+
Oh oh oh oh
+
Seventeen
+
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
+
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
+
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 my time to breathe"
+
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
+
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
+
Oh oh oh oh
+
I'm Seventeen
+
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
+
Oh oh oh oh
+
Seventeen
+
Ohh 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
+
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
+
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 my time to breathe"
+
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
+
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
+
Oh oh oh oh
+
I'm Seventeen
+
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
+
Oh oh oh oh
+
Seventeen
+
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
+
Oh oh oh oh
+
Seventeen
+
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
