17 Lyrics by Lauren Sanderson

Midwest Kids Can Make It Big (Deluxe)

2020

I got nowhere to go
Just me and myself and the static on the radio
I got nowhere to be
I been lookin for a place since I was 17
I been shot down
Dragged around
Looking high and low for my identity
But even when it hurts
Know I’ll end up where I’m meant to be

Call me when you’re depressed
Real stressed
Catch a break like recess, reset
Popping pills going off the deep end
All I wanted was to be myself
And she’s thе reason
Watch some anime
And makе some motherfuckin pizza
Why do I get in my own head?
Then she said, she’ll never love herself again
No no no

I got nowhere to go
Just me and myself and the static on the radio
I got nowhere to be
I been lookin for a place since I was 17
I been shot down
Dragged around
Looking high and low for my identity
But even when it hurts
Know I’ll end up where i’m meant to be

Conversations with my inner self
I take my feelings and I put them on the highest shelf
Saving everybody else getting draining as hell
People tell you that you're selfish when you love yourself
Cause they don't love themselves
But I hope you love yourself
I hope you to take this to the heart
I hope you're doing well
Manifest your best self every second
If you're worried bout tomorrow stay present
Yeah

We got nowhere to go
Just us in the car now our song's on the radio
We got nowhere to be
We been looking for a place since we were 17
We been shot down
Dragged around
Looking high and low for our identity
But even when it hurts
Know we'll end up where we're meant to be

This song is for
Anyone trying to find themselves
Including myself
Cause let's be honest
We're all trying to fuckin find ourselves
And never forget
You're not alone
