Seventeen

[Verse 1]
I feel like a ghost driving through this town
It’s been so long and thought I’d never come back round
And it’s so crazy cause everything here's exactly the same
That’s the parking lot were we always skated
Tore up every inch of sidewalk, neighbors hated us
And all the memories come crashing down over me
I just miss being 17

[Verse 2]
I heard Sierra’s still working down at Campbell’s
And that house behind the school is still in shambles
And I bet that Bennie's Dad’s still dealing therе every day
I still can’t beliеve that Andy’s gone
I’m driving past his parent's house and the lights are on
And I don’t wanna be the one to bring up those memories
I just miss being 17

[Chorus]
I’m lost on Main Street in my hometown
Screaming could somebody slow it all down
Slow it all down, slow it all down, now
Slow it all down
I turned around and this place isn’t home
Why is it so hard to let it all go
Tell me this is all a dream
I just miss being 17

[Verse 3]
Time moves on people forget bout you
And the memories you made just fading and crumble
Like some VHS tape that no one’s TV will play, yeah
This is everything I thought existed
And I swore that when I left I would never miss it
But right now I’d trade world to get it back for a day
I just miss being 17
I just miss being 17
Someone take me back now

[Chorus]
I’m lost on Main Street in my hometown
Screaming could somebody slow it all down
Slow it all down, slow it all down, now
Slow it all down
I turned around and this place isn’t home
Why is it so hard to let it all go
Tell me this is all a dream
Wake me up when I’m 17

[Outro]
Why does it feel like the time has been stolen
Why do I try to relive every moment
When we all know that there’s no getting back to a dream
I just miss being 17
I just miss being 17
