Куплет 1:
My
daddy says that life comes at you fast
We all like blades of grass
We
come to prime and in time we just wither away
My view with a looking glass won’t catch the past
Only
photographs remind us of the passing of
days
Oh
nothing stays the same from yesteryears
See I recall being
afraid of the dark
And holding on to teddy bears
I’d
wrap myself in blankets just to cover me from fears
That was
then and now I’m here
Припев:
I was too young to understand what it
means
I couldn’t wait til I could be
seventeen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to
dream
Now I wish I could freeze the time at
seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at
seventeen
Куплет 2:
My
mother said don’t forget where you come from, where you’ve been
Always keep your closest friends they can't slip away
They keep you
groundedOh keep yourself surrounded with good advice
And
yeah I guess that sounded nice when I was ten
Oh but
never were there truer words
And I’ll my days I’ve ever heard
And
when she told me little girl the answer is love
So those are
words that I keep with me
Though the seasons change so quickly
Keep them
buried in my heart
And never fought
Припев:
I was too young to understand what it
means
I couldn’t wait til I could be
seventeen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to
breathe
Now I wish I could freeze the time at
seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at
seventeen
Бридж:
I been goin on, I been growin
up
I’m a know it all, I don’t know
enough
See I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old
enough
Guess I’ll be patient and pace myself gotta prepare
forwhen goings rough
Припев:
I was too young to understand what it
means
I couldn’t wait til I could be
seventeen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to
breathe
Now I wish I could freeze the time at
seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at
seventeen
