Seventeen - Alessia Cara
[Verse 1]
My Adaddy says that life comes at you fast
We all like blades of grass
We Dcome to prime and in time we just wither away
And it all F#mchanges
My view with a looking glass won’t catch the past
Only Dphotographs remind us of the passing of Edays
Oh Anothing stays the same from yesteryears
See I recall being aDfraid of the dark
And holding on to teddy bears
I’d F#mwrap myself in blankets just to cover me from fears
That was Dthen and now I’m here
And the Enight is mine
[Chorus]
So hear me sAcream
I was too young to understand what it Dmeans
I couldn’t wait til I could be sevenF#mteen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to Ddream
Now I wish I could freeze the time at sevenAteen
I’m SevenDteen
SevenF#mteen
SevenDteen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at sevenAteen
[Verse 2]
My Amother said don’t forget where you come from, where you’ve been
DAlways keep your closest friends they can't slip away
They keep you F#mgrounded
Oh keep yourself surrounded with good advice
And Dyeah I guess that sounded nice when I was ten
Oh but Anever were there truer words
And I’ll my days I’ve ever heard
And Dwhen she told me little girl the answer is love
So those are F#mwords that I keep with me
Though the seasons change so quickly
Keep them Dburied in my heart
And never fought
[Chorus]
So hear me sAcream
I was too young to understand what it Dmeans
I couldn’t wait til I could be sevenF#mteen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to Dbreathe
Now I wish I could freeze the time at sevenAteen
I’m SevenDteen
SevenF#mteen
SevenDteen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at sevenAteen
[Bridge]
AI been goin on, I been growin Dup
I’m a know it all, I don’t know eF#mnough
See I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old eBmnough
Guess I’ll be patient and pace myself gotta prepare for when goings Arough
[Chorus]
I was too young to understand what it Dmeans
I couldn’t wait til I could be sevenF#mteen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to Dbreathe
Now I wish I could freeze the time at sevenAteen
I’m SevenDteen
SevenF#mteen
SevenDteen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at sevenAteen

Only photographs remind us of the passing of days

Oh nothing stays the same from yesteryears

See I recall being afraid of the dark

And holding on to teddy bears

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 thought he lied when he said take my time to dream

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

I’m Seventeen
