Seventeen Lyrics

You and me

We were only seventeen

In the back of your mom’s mini van

Singing Konstantine

Mix CD’s

Burning incense on the street

Hanging in a Marshall’s parking lot

In the summer heat

We were so full of life

We took it for granted

We were untouchable,

We were invincible

Remember the days

Making mistakes

We were screaming “we don’t care what people say”

Now I know

I wouldn’t let it go

Seventeen slipped through our fingers

Now I have nothing left to hold

All I know

It was us against the world

No we can’t be young forever

But I don’t wanna let it go

On the lake

Summer 2008

Making firepits, Hard Lemonade

Singing Coldplay

Remember the time we skipped the pep rally

To drink some old beer mixed with hi-C

Man that was disgusting

We were so full of life

We were taking our chances

We were untouchable,

We were invincible

Suburbia days

Staying up late

We were screaming “we don’t care what people say”

Now I know

I wouldn’t let it go

Seventeen slipped through our fingers

Now I have nothing left to hold

All I know

It was us against the world

No we can’t be young forever

But I don’t wanna let it go

“Maybe we’ll be different when we’re not seventeen”

Now we’re not seventeen

And the grass ain’t greener on the other side

I’m older now but I feel like a child

Remember when we were so alive

Screaming “I’ll never change”

But we can’t always stay the same

Now I know for sure, cause I’m a quarter life crisis in a grocery store

“Maybe we’ll be different when we’re not seventeen”

Now we’re not seventeen

And the grass ain’t greener on the other side

I’m older now but I feel like a child

Remember when we were so alive

Screaming “I’ll never change”

But we can’t always stay the same

Now I know for sure, cause I’m a quarter life crisis in a grocery store

Now I know

I wouldn’t let it go

Seventeen slipped through our fingers

Now I have nothing left to hold

All I know

It was us against the world

No we can’t be young forever

But I don’t wanna let it go
