Lyrics

[Verse 1]
See, as people, we try
To please one another
In order to be equal, we lie
So we don't have to suffer, no
[Verse 2]
But I'm tired of hiding
For the benefit of my peers
What's so wrong with shining?
Why've you got so much fear?
Aye
[Verse 3]
I got my skin all out
I don't care
I'm proud to be me
Yeah
I was scared to stand out
Now I'm wearing my hair down
And I feel so free
[Verse 4]
Oh, it's good to be, 17
Well, I feel so free
Oh, it's good to be, 17
17
[Verse 5]
See as teenagers, we think
We have to blend in
But if you want to be greater
Than this
There's no use in pretending
'Cause I tried to change myself
For the benefit of my friends
Well now, it's time to wave goodbye
'Cause my used-to-be's are at an end
[Verse 6]
Well, now I got my skin all out
I don't care
I'm proud to be me
Yeah
I was scared to stand out
Now I'm wearing my hair down
And I feel so free
[Verse 7]
Oh, it's good to be, 17
Yeah, baby
I feel so free
Oh, it's good to be, 17
17
[Verse 8]
I will be myself
'Cause I like who I'm becoming
If you're ready, come with me
These boots are made for running
But I'm sick of running
In circles around you
This ain't about you (No)
This ain't about you
[Verse 9]
I got my skin all out
I don't care
I'm proud to be me
Yeah (Yeah)
And I was scared to stand out
Now I'm wearing my hair down
And I feel so free
[Verse 10]
Oh, it's good to be, 17
17

[Verse 11]
17
(I will be myself 'cause I like who I'm becoming)
No, no, baby
(If you're ready, come with me)
(These boots are made for running)
This ain't about you, this is about me
(But I'm sick of running)
Ah, 17
(In circles around you)
17
(This ain't about you)
17
(This ain't about you)
