17 Lyrics by Amy Hall

WIDE-EYED

2018

Verse 1

There's something scary outside waiting
I've never felt this way before
And maybe they don't know you
They know me
When you wake early
Is it all me?
There's a storm coming
It's what we're breathing for

There's something scary outside waiting
And I'm pretty sure you forgot me
But oh please, my love
There's nothing to shove
In the grand scheme of it all
Let thе car crash through
But wave back at me first

Chorus

And, oh, therе's only minutes
Only seconds for me to doubt
You sigh and keep a hold of it
'Cause growing up is letting down
And can't you see?
I'm 17
Can you see through the smokescreen?

Verse 2

Christmas Eve never felt more vacant
November never felt more cold
And maybe I don't know you
But you know me
I have so many stories
They're boring
But I'm not the little girl you used to love
'Cause there's something scary outside waiting
And though I'm healed
I'm also getting older
But maybe when the evergreen crashing
Rain, and lightning has passed me
I'll be able to say I knew it all along
"Grow up!"

Chorus

And, oh, there's only minutes
Only seconds for me to doubt
You sigh and keep a hold of it
'Cause growing up is letting down
And can't you see?
I'm 17
Can you see through the smokescreen?

Bridge

There's a concert here tonight
Are you going, too?
And can't you feel alright?
'Cause I'm going to
I'm going to
I'm going to
Oh, and give me a second
To be young without you

Chorus

And, oh, there's only minutes
Only seconds for me to doubt
You sigh and keep a hold of it
'Cause growing up is letting down
And can't you see?
I'm 17
