Seventeen - Sharon Van Etten

I know what you wanna say

I think that you’re all the same

Constantly being led astray

You think you know something you don’t

Downtown hotspot

Halfway up this 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 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 hotspot

Used to be on this street

I used to be seventeen

I used to be seventeen

Now you’re a hotshot

Hanging on my block

Sun coming up

Who is my shadow?

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

I know what you’re gonna be

I know that you’re gonna be

You’ll crumble it up just to see

Afraid that you’ll be just like me

Downtown hotspot

Halfway through this life

I used to feel free

Or was it just a dream?

Now you’re a hotshot

Think you’re so carefree

But you’re just seventeen

So much like me

You’re just seventeen

You’re just seventeen
