Seventeen Lyrics

Thrown onto strange lines and pathways

Thoughts jumbled by words placed on me

Following blindly, I stumble

But there's more to this story than what's been revealed

Bodies hold and touch but barely approve

Suggestive of spaces not made for me or you

Coerced into patterns of lies

I wish that I could agree

But when last did you listen to what your body actually needs?

I've forgotten what it feels like

But I remember what it tastes like

To be seventeen in this body

In this body I'm in

Roadside lights kept us on our feet

But you ran so fast, you lost your way

Sit down, stand up

Who knows who we'd be if we could decide?

Speak back to the thoughts they placed in your mind

I've forgotten what it feels like,

But I remember what it tastes like

To be seventeen in this body

In this body I'm still in

Nobody will enter your soul

Even if they reach for it, please know

Your body will let them go

Let them go, let them go

I've forgotten what it feels like

But I remember what it tastes like

To be seventeen in this body

In this body I'm still in
