Seventeen

I can't recall a thing

A cry for help

But no one's ever listening

My life moved faster than the speed of sound

Wish I could go there now

And slow down

Ain't it strange

How people tend to change

I hope she knows

That I would never blame her

'Cause all she did was all she knew

Oh, is it too late now

To slow down?

All my life

I've never had the chance

To stop and smell the flowers

All this time

I never got to sit

And dream away the hours

No memories

Like black and white TV

And everybody says, it'll be okay

Like life is just a game

But I don't wanna play

Twenty-one

It should've been so fun

Cherry ripe

I wish I had more time

This summer skin

It fades too quick somehow

Oh, is it too late now

To slow down?

All my life

I've never had the chance

To stop and smell the flowers

All this time

I never got to sit

And dream away the hours

No memories

Like black and white TV

And everybody says, it'll be okay

Like life is just a game

But I don't wanna play
