Seventeen Lyrics by Philip Allen

2020

I do not know what to write
They tell me write about my life
But I’m not experienced enough
They say my words don’t measure up
So what do they want me to do
Don’t you release anything ‘till it’s perfect
But Mozart was never a perfect man
But the story I’m telling is gonna be worth it
And I’m gonna do the best that I can
So much is expected from me
But you never walked in my shoes
I’m struggling to be creative
And how you respond I don’t gеt to choose
So just be patient with mе
As I’m trying to figure it out
I am only seventeen
And look where I am right now
I am not making excuses
For not trying as hard as I should
I am just asking for grace
‘Cause if you were in my place
I know you would
Ooh O-o-o ooh
I know you would
I am not where I should be
But I am quite far from where I could be
But they keep on pushing me down
While they’ve got their heads in the clouds
Well I’ll prove ‘em wrong just wait and see
So much is expected from me
But you never walked in my shoes
I’m struggling to be creative
And how you respond I don’t get to choose
So just be patient with me
As I’m trying to figure it out
I am only seventeen
And look where I am right now
I am not making excuses
For not trying as hard as I should
I am just asking for grace
‘Cause if you were in my place
I know you would
Ooh O-o-o ooh
I know you would
Please be please be patient with me
Be patient patient with me
Please be please be patient with me
Be patient patient with me
So just be patient with me
As I’m trying to figure it out
I am only seventeen
And look where I am right now
I am not making excuses
For not trying as hard as I should
I am just asking for grace
‘Cause if you were in my place
I know you would
Ooh O-o-o ooh
I know you would
Ooh O-o-o ooh
I know you would
I am not making excuses
For not trying as hard as I should
I am just asking for grace
‘Cause if you were in my place
I know you would
