Julianna Joy - Seventeen Lyrics

They say if you don't get it off your chest
You'll never be able to breathe
And I'm standing in my own grave
1000 miles between you and me

Cause you and I bathe in a pool of undecided
Soaked in gasoline, just trying to ignite it
Cause I can be your queen if
You'll be my tyrant
Force me to ache in somewhere more quiet

{chorus}
How can you bе so sure
That you and I are nevеr going to work
Is it easier just to pretend
Just to save me in the end?
How can you be fine?
Promise me that you'll change your mind
Cause I'm starting to come undone
Don't like what you've become

And i've held onto everything
I've been holding on since you turned 17
And the whole world was black and white
And then there was you and me

I haven't been fine since I was ten
But I swear when I met you, it started to make sense
And I've been listening to Brockhampton
Since summer began

How can you bе so sure
That you and I are nevеr going to work
Is it easier just to pretend
Just to save me in the end?
How can you be fine?
Promise me that you'll change your mind
Cause I'm starting to come undone
Don't like what you've become


Still remember your smile the day that we met
And the tears in your eyes on the train when you left
And all of the jokes and the secrets you kept
And all of the songs you never asked what they meant
When you told me you loved me, tell me why did you lie
Back when I had no friends on the Fourth of July
And you told me to believe you but this time I'm right
And I am standing here crying just wondering why
When I called out your name when I snuck out out of town
Driving 90 on Randall, hoping you'd make a sound
But I forget that you're east coast and I'm in the ground
So I'll just keep on praying one day you'll come back around


How can you be so sure
That you and I are never going to work
Is it easier just to pretend
Just to save me in the end?
How can you be fine?
Promise me that you'll change your mind
Cause I'm starting to come undone
Don't like what you've become
