17 Lyrics by Bartees Strange

Horror

2025

[Verse 1]
Up on time, no standby
And I don’t even know where I left my phone
Weeks turn to months in a minute
What do I be on when I’m not home

[Chorus]
I’m only seventeen, momma
Pushed a Chevy to the brink, kinda
I’m sweatin’ through the seats, Donna
It’s hot as hell, and I don’t see quite where I’m goin’
I’m staring through the ceiling
Starting to think that I don’t need friends
Sometimes I don’t know where I belong

[Verse 2]
The first time that I felt impending doom
Was realizing I’m too black for the room
I was pushing it down, pushing it down, just for you, for you
You’ll never see me like I see you
Like every dream I had just can’t come true
Now you’re talking me down, talking me down
So used to hearing that from you

[Chorus]
I’m only seventeen, momma
Pushed a Chevy to the brink, kinda
I’m sweatin’ through the seats, Donna
It’s kinda hard when you don’t see quite where you’re goin’
I’m staring through the ceiling
Starting to think that I don’t need friends

[Bridge]
You ain’t wrong to go that way
What I’d give to make you stay
Not for nothin’
Imma be your babe
Curled up with you is when I feel safe
I’m safe, I’m safe, yeah

[Chorus]
I’m only seventeen, momma
Pushed a Chevy to the brink for us
55 for a week darlin’
All the folk I got em’ weavin’ stealing
It’s hard to see the least of us
I swear I think I seen somethin’
I look up I see the skies open
I look up, I see it, good god I know I seen it
