Seventeen

I feel like a ghost driving through this town It's been so long and thought I'd never come back round And it's so crazy cause everything here's exactly the same That's the parking lot were we always skated Tore up every inch of sidewalk, neighbors hated us And all the memories come crashing down over me I just miss being 17 I heard Sierra's still working down at Campbell's And that house behind the school is still in shambles And I bet that Bennie's Dad's still dealing therе every day I still can't beliеve that Andy's gone I'm driving past his parent's house and the lights are on And I don't wanna be the one to bring up those memories I just miss being 17 I'm lost on Main Street in my hometown Screaming could somebody slow it all down Slow it all down, slow it all down, now Slow it all down I turned around and this place isn't home Why is it so hard to let it all go Tell me this is all a dream I just miss being 17 Time moves on people forget 'bout you And the memories you made just fading and crumble Like some VHS tape that no one's TV will play, yeah This is everything that I thought existed And I swore that when I left I would never miss it But right now I'd trade world to get it back for a day I just miss being 17 (yeah) I just miss being 17 Someone take me back now I'm lost on Main Street in my hometown Screaming could somebody slow it all down Slow it all down, slow it all down, now Slow it all down I turned around and this place isn't home Why is it so hard to let it all go Tell me this is all a dream Wake me up when I'm 17 Why does it feel like the time has been stolen Why do I try to relive every moment When we all know that there's no getting back to a dream I just miss being 17 I just miss being 17
