17

[Intro]
I took a walk on the street I grew up on
Everything that I knew, yeah it's all gone
And it hit me like a ton of bricks
'Cause things aren't like that anymore
Saw some kids on their summer vacation
They remind me of me when I had one
Yeah those were the days (those were the days)

[Pre-Chorus]
When we tried so hard to fit in
Didn't really know what we were doing
Sitting under stars, pourin' out our hearts
Wondering who we are

[Chorus]
Growing up never felt so numb
Do you remember when we were young?
Better days are ahead of me but
I can't let go of what used to be when I was only 17

[Verse 1]
I see old friends in all these new faces
It gets harder when everything changes
Tell me why
Why do I feel like I'm living in a highlight reel

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I try so hard to fit in
Still don't really know what I am doing
Staring at the sky, always asking why
Screaming "Who am I"

[Chorus]
Growing up never felt so numb
Do you remember when we were young?
Better days are ahead of me but
I can't let go of what used to be when I was only 17

Only 17
Only 17

[Breakdown]
When we tried so hard to fit in
Didn't really know what we were doing
Sitting under stars, pourin' out our hearts
Wondering who we are

[Outro]
Ooooh
Growing up never felt so numb
Do you remember when we were young?
Better days are ahead of me but
I can't let go of what used to be when I was only 17
