Seventeen Lyrics by Alessia Cara Alessia Cara
Below, you will find the lyrics for Seventeen by Alessia Cara.
Verse 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
And it all changes
My view with a looking glass won't catch the past
Only photographs remind us of the passing of days
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
And the night is mine
Chorus 1
So hear me scream
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 and dream'
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
I'm seventeen
Seventeen
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
Verse 2
My mother said 'Don't forget where you come from
Where you've been'
Verse 2
Always keep your closest friends, they can't slip away
They keep you grounded
Keep yourself surrounded with good advice
And yeah, I guess that sounded nice when I was ten
But never were there truer words
In all 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
Chorus 2
So hear me scream
I was too young to understand what it means
I couldn't wait 'til I could be seventeen
I thought she lied when she said 'take my time to breathe'
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
I'm seventeen
Seventeen
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
Bridge
I been going 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 for when goings rough
Chorus 3
I was too young to understand what it means
I couldn't wait 'til I could be seventeen
I thought she lied when she said 'take my time to breathe'
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
I'm seventeen
Seventeen
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
