17 Lyrics by Cartel

2022

[Verse 1]
There you go just sitting there
Never satisfied
And you know you don't care
Even though you tried
You're still stuck in a moment
In a state of mind
Just looking for something
That feels like the first time

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, we were only kids back then
Oh, all the things that could have been

[Chorus]
It's too late
Too much time has passed with nothing in between
But it's okay
Looking back will only cost you everything
And it's such a shame for you my dear
It's something that you should have seen
Because it's never gonna be the way
It was when we werе seventeen

[Verse 2]
No, that's still not good enough
You'rе the stubborn kind
You'll never get what you're dreaming of
In a static life
You're caught up in a moment
In a state of mind
You're still looking for something
You swear that it's the last time

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, we were young and stupid then
Oh, everything comes to an end

[Chorus]
It's too late
Too much time has passed with nothing in between
But it's okay
Looking back will only cost you everything
And it's such a shame for you my dear
It's something that you should have seen
Because it's never gonna be the way
It was when we were seventeen

[Bridge]
Yeah, you're holding on
To a moment that's gone
I hope you understand
What's come to pass came to an end

[Chorus]
It's too late
Too much time has passed with nothing in between
But it's okay
Looking back will only cost you everything
And it's such a shame for you my dear
It's something that you should have seen
Because it's never gonna be the way
It was when we were seventeen

[Outro]
(It's too late, it's too late, it's too late)
When we were seventeen
(It's too late, it's too late, it's too late)
