Seventeen

Pale yellow light breaks through the night
As if it matters at all
And at the edge of jet-black skies
I won't jump but I might fall

I had a dream once thought I'd try
To take my back off of the wall
But every time I think I might
I feel so small

It's not like I'm better off anyways
Than I was when I was seventeen
Be mine, be mine
I'm your girl
And you know exactly why that hurts

Well are you out somewhere tonight
Figured I'd give you a call
I heard it somewhere through the vine
You're just as delicate and raw

Had an idea, I thought we might drive someplace far enough away
And if I say that I'm alright
At least you'll stay

It's not like I'm better off anyways
Than I was when I was seventeen
Be mine, be mine
I'm your girl
And you know just how it hurts
(Hurts)
