Seventeen Lyrics - Alessia Cara

1 Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

2 Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

3 My daddy says that life comes at you fast

4 We all like blades of grass

5 We come to prime and in time we just wither away

6 And it all changes

7 My view with a looking glass won’t catch the past

8 Only photographs remind us of the passing of days

9 Oh nothing stays the same from yesteryears

10 See I recall being afraid of the dark

11 And holding on to teddy bears

12 I’d wrap myself in blankets just to cover me from fears

13 That was then and now I’m here

14 And the night is mine

15 So hear me scream

16 I was too young to understand what it means

17 I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen

18 I thought he lied when he said take my time to breathe

19 Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

20 Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

21 I’m Seventeen

22 Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

23 Seventeen

24 Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

25 Seventeen

26 Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

27 My mother said don’t forget where you come from, where you’ve been

28 Always keep your closest friends they can't slip away

29 They keep you grounded

30 Oh keep yourself surrounded with good advice

31 And yeah I guess that sounded nice when I was ten

32 Oh but never were there truer words

33 And I’ll my days I’ve ever heard

34 And when she told me little girl the answer is love

35 So those are words that I keep with me

36 Though the seasons change so quickly

37 Keep them buried in my heart

38 And never fought

39 So hear me scream

40 I was too young to understand what it means

41 I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen

42 I thought she lied when she said "take your time to breathe"

43 Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

44 Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

45 I’m Seventeen

46 Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

47 Seventeen

48 Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

50 Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

51 I been goin on, I been growin up

52 I’m a know it all, I don’t know enough

53 See I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old enough

54 Guess I’ll be patient and pace myself gotta prepare for when goings rough

55 I was too young to understand what it means

56 I couldn’t wait til I could be seventeen

57 I thought she lied when she said "take your time to breathe"

58 Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

59 Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh

60 I’m Seventeen
