Seventeen

I see a part of me in you
It's someone that I used to be
It's someone that I knew
Staring at the posters on the wall
Strummin' on an old guitar
To make sense of it all

And I don't know you well
But I know

Seventeen
How your heart aches
Your bones shake
Life's hanging on a dream
At seventeen
Better buckle up honey
The world is at your feet

I've felt the pining for something more
That little bolt of lightning
Arriving at your door
The music in the basement
And the moonlight on the street
You know you're going places
So goodbye is bittersweet

And the years, they roll
But I know

Seventeen
How your heart breaks
Your bones shake
Life's hanging on a dream
At seventeen
Better buckle up honey
The world is at your feet

You could roll the dice
Let the gods decide
Don't you hurry
But don't wait your whole damn life
Only thing that's certain
It's gonna be one hell of a ride
Oh
Better buckle up honey
Buckle up honey
Better buckle up honey
The world is at your feet
