Seventeen Again Lyrics by Matt Fishel

Not Thinking Straight

0

[Verse 1]
I heard that you skipped school today
And you know that's against the rules
They told me you've been smoking in the park again
And you know it's bad for you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't be ashamed, I'm not judging you
But we need to find a way to get you through
You should know I empathize
You gotta rebel and break the rules sometimes
But you gotta pick your fights
[Chorus]
You feel you're on your own but I've been there before
Everything will change, though right now it may not feel that way
When I see the anger in your eyes it feels like I'm seventeen again (seventeen again)
[Verse 2]
So your parents don't get on anymore and your dad is moving house
But all this weed you're smoking isn't good for you
Your cash supply will soon run out
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So go get stoned, but don't drop out
You know that's not what life's about
You've still got your self-esteem
It breaks my heart to see such a confident boy waste away like this
[Chorus]
You're never on your own, I'll be there for you
I can help things change, but only if you let me in
I wanna be a friend to you but I can't be seventeen again (seventeen again)
[Verse 3]
Well I can see the telltale signs
There's something else on your mind
See I know that expression (It gets better in time)
A stirring feeling deep inside
Your friends, they don't get it
And your family will fight to keep it well hidden
But it's so plain to me, it's so clear to you
Follow this feeling through
[Bridge]
Tell this guy how you feel
The one you can't stop dreaming about
Just have a good time and experiment for a while
How will you know if you never find out?
What the hell you gonna lose?
What's his friendship worth to you?
Can you see him every day
And know that you never took it anywhere?
He might feel the same way
[Chorus]
And yes it's normal, if it feels real inside
This new freedom can make you feel whole again
But if you don't open your eyes
You'll be stuck at seventeen again
For the rest of your life
