Seven - 1997 lyrics

[Verse One]: The year was 1997 I was 12 or 11 Time is ticking, I feel different while I'm wishing I was 7 My first time I thought of d**h and I know I'm only 12 But my home girl died of a tumor just a little sooner so you can never tell I'm two years away from high school And everyone still think I'm not cool Twelve months away from my teen years And I wanna run away and leave here I still play Frogger and Tetris Collect Batman toys and wrestlers Play Final Fantasy with my best friend I don't want '97 to end But I [Hook]: And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below [Verse Two]: The year was 1997 I was 12 or 11 Time is ticking, I feel different while I'm wishing I was 7 Back when only bullys had to act hard And we played Mortal Kombat in my backyard On the hill threw cherry bombs at cars Jump over the fence and run from the attack dog And we laughed hard Didn't ask mom Turn the 'Lac on With the back gone That was our sign That our ride, was 'bout to take us all swimming at that park But we all see the girl we in love with And daydream the day we get one kiss Hit the diving board and do one flip This the time that I will never forget And I [Hook]: And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below [Verse Three]: The year was 1997 I was 12 or 11 Time is ticking, I feel different while I'm wishing I was 7 My life is steady wasting All my friends already changing While I wanna play my video games on my brand new PlayStation On Saturday's I'm up at noon Missed all my favorite cartoons Your friends, no longer call you And everything is harmful So we, just made a dug out Where all of us just hung out It's called the Flyboy Club House Where we chill and just go bug out Cause we [Hook]: And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues And we don't know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below The street heats the urgency of now As you see there's no one around
