Seventeen

I know what you wanna say I think that you're all the same Constantly being led astray He's thinking of something you don't Downtown harks back Halfway up the street I used to be free I used to be seventeen Follow my shadow Around your corner I used to be seventeen Now you're just like me Down beneath the ashes and the stone Sure of what I've lived and have known I see you so uncomfortably alone I wish I could show you how much you've grown Downtown harks back I used to be on this street I used to be seventeen I used to be seventeen Now you're half shy Hanging on my block Sun coming up Who's my shadow? I know what you're gonna be I know that you're gonna be You're crumbling up just to see Afraid that you'll be just like me Downtown harks back Halfway through this life I used to feel free Was it just a dream? Now you're half shy Think you're so carefree But you're just seventeen So much like me You're just seventeen You're just seventeen Seventeen
