You're on the ride
But it's not like they said it was
You have a plan
But it wasn't quite good enough
You're in the race
But you just feel like giving up
You have a song
Now you just want to turn it up
Jump on your feet, get up and pass go
Yeah, you'll dance when I say so
She likes to dream I can see it in her eyes
She's on automatic
At seventeen only wants what she can't find
She's on automatic
Catching up wasn't quite like they said it was
Finding love isn't fun if it hurts too much
Losing friends 'cause you can't always stay in touch
A broken heart only comes if you're growing up
Jump on your feet, get up and pass go
Yeah, you'll dance when I say so
She likes to dream I can see it in her eyes
She's on automatic
At seventeen only wants what she can't find
She's on automatic
Light it up like a star in the night sky
It's so dramatic
A pretty girl with a spark that she can't find
She's on automatic
She likes to dream I can see it in her eyes
She's on automatic
At seventeen only wants what she can't find
She's on automatic
Light it up like a star in the night sky
It's so dramatic
A pretty girl with a spark that she can't find
She's on automatic
(She's on) automatic
(She's on) automatic
(She's on) so dramatic
(She's on) automatic
