MAY 17th Lyrics by Patrick Zae

2020

[Verse 1]
Hey
I had just turned sixteen
You was livin' with me
I didn't even realize
Everything was shifting
Ain't know I was happy then
Would've lived it differently
Oh, the things I'd do to get the moments that I miss, yeah
Me and Te at Jimmy house like swish, yeah
I was wylin' out and hopped the fence, yeah
Yontz and low was cool and there was Nick
What a way to live, had to sneak thru rooms to take a-, yeah
I was ghost hunting
Lil Whoa stunting
Little big brother in a room right by his mother's
I ain't need more space 'cause I finally found comfort
Livin' with the fam and we livеd it up

[Verse 2]
Seventeen
I was stressin' hеavily
Knowin' all my friends would leave
They a year ahead of me
I think of those memories
It ain't been same since to me
Some had lost the energy
We all drift eventually
Face it on my own, yeah
Bracin' for a long year
I chopped off the long hair
I felt I was grown, yeah
I knew I was wrong, yeah
But that boy was strong, yeah
'Bout to make it known, yeah

[Verse 3]
Eighteen
I perceived that my dreams were not out of reach
And that lemonade was pink
And the boy's heart was broke
But that really helped him think
Graduate in like a week
Damn, I hope this ain't my peak
It was just me and RG
He went crazy with the beats
I went crazy in my mind
He was right there helpin' me
Nick had got me my first job
Done with school then cookin' wings
So confused about what to be
I don't wanna waste away
I don't want for you to see

[Verse 4]
Twenty-one
Waitin' for the sun to come up
What's the rush? Can you tell me what is the rush?
Just for once, can you get out of your head?
Fall in love, maybe even hit someone up
Twenty-one
Waitin' for the sun to come up
What's the rush? Can you tell me what is the rush?
Just for once, can you get out of your head?
Fall in love, maybe even hit someone up

[Bridge: Spoken]
Cause you see, the day I turned twenty-one
I didn't know that my world was gonna come crumbling down on me, in just a few weeks, ya know?
So, maybe it's important to live in the moment

[Outro]
Let's go in the garden
You'll find something waiting
Right there where you left it
Lying upside down
When you finally find it
You'll see how it's faded
The underside is lighter
When you turn it around
Everything stays right where you left it
Everything stays, but it still changes
Ever so slightly
Daily and nightly
In little ways
When everything stays
