alessia cara - seventeen lyrics

[intro]
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

[verse 1]
my daddy says that life comes at you fast
we all like blades of gr-ss
we come to prime and in time we just wither away
and it all changes
my view with a looking gl-ss won’t catch the past
only photographs remind us of the p-ssing 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

[chorus]
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 breathe
now i wish i could freeze the time at seventeen
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
i’m seventeen
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
seventeen
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
seventeen
now i wish i could freeze the time at seventeen

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
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 your time to breathe”
now i wish i could freeze the time at seventeen
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
i’m seventeen
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
seventeen
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
seventeen
now i wish i could freeze the time at seventeen

[bridge]
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

[chorus]
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 your time to breathe”
now i wish i could freeze the time at seventeen
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
i’m seventeen
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
seventeen
oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
seventeen
now i wish i could freeze the time at seventeen
