Samuel Gerongco - Seventeen lyrics

[Intro] Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh [Verse 1] My daddy says that life comes at you fast We all like blades of gra** We come to prime and in time we just wither away And it all changes My view with a looking gla** won't catch the past Only photographs remind us of the pa**ing of days Oh nothing stays the same from yesteryears See I recall being afraid of the dark And holding on to teddy bears I'd wrap myself in blankets just to cover me from fears That was then and now I'm here And the night is mine [Chorus] So hear me scream I was too young to understand what it means I couldn't wait 'til I could be seventeen I thought he lied when he said take my time to dream Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh I'm Seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Seventeen Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen [Verse 2] My mother said don't forget where you come from, where you've been Always keep your closest friends they can't slip away They keep you grounded Oh keep yourself surrounded with good advice And yeah I guess that sounded nice when I was ten Oh but never were there truer words In all my days I've ever heard And when she told me little girl the answer is love So those are words that I keep with me Though the seasons change so quickly Keep them buried in my heart And never fought [Chorus] So hear me scream I was too young to understand what it means I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen I thought she lied when she said take my time and breathe Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh I'm Seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Seventeen Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen [Bridge] I been goin on, I been growin up I'm a know it all, I don't know enough See I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old enough Guess I'll be patient and pace myself gotta prepare for when goings rough [Chorus] I was too young to understand what it means I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen I thought she lied when she said "take your time to breathe" Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh I'm Seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Seventeen Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh Seventeen Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
