55 For 17

Did you see them on Instagram?

Isn't theirs a perfect life?

Pictures say a thousand words

But you can't tell if it's truth or a lie

Constantly living with the fear of missing out

Is the path to losing yourself

Time keeps getting faster as each day goes by

Leaving you behind because you're...

Always wishing you were 17

Or 25...or anything but where you are right now

Sure, there's things I would have done differently

But I wouldn't trade 55 for 17

You find yourself looking for a way out

When you need to find a way in

Not walking out the door to see what you can get

But staying to see what you can give

Maybe try to get out of yourself

Note expecting anything in return

That is how we open our eyes,

We come alive and shine instead of...

Always wishing you were 17

Or 25...or anything but where you are right now

Sure, there's things I would have done differently

But I wouldn't trade 55 for 17

Always wishing you were 17

Or 25...or anything but where you are right now

Sure, there's things I would have done differently

But I wouldn't trade 55 for 17
