Seventeen is the second track on RIP Indo Hisashi, released in 2017 but remastered and released on June 21, 2018.

[Intro]
You are something
I want
You take
Take me away
My baby
[Verse 1]
I'm sorry if everything is crazy

[Chorus]

Everything was easier
Never knew what feelings were (Yeah)
Used to be just make believe (Yeah)
Now I'm faded in a corner
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah
