Seventeen

I'm just 17 shy of the all-time high

Get low, get down, get by

I've got one more year 'til my 18th here

When I can show you mine

The possession of my body isn't compromised

By the lack of its permission to leave

I am mine and in my youth, I find

I was never meant to be clean

And what I seem to find peculiar

The lack of your perception to see

I can't be tamed by your naiveté, no

I gotta know the notion of feeling free

I'm just 17 shy of the all-time high

Get low, get down, get by

I've got one more year 'til my 18th here

When I can show you mine

You're dangling my dignity just outta my reach

But independence isn't a sin

Except when you're defined as a minor

Then God forbid I taint my skin

And what I seem to find peculiar

The lack of your perception to read

Between my lines, I'm on the other side

Just waiting for my day to be free

I'm just 17 shy of the all-time high

Get low, get down, get by

I've got one more year 'til my 18th here

When I can show you mine

My eyes have been closed to the weight of the world

I don't wish to be deaf by your palms anymore

Warn me of the way I love with no control

Oh, I was born to wreck this home

I'm just 17 shy of the all-time high

Get low, get down, get by

I've got one more year 'til my 18th here

When I can show you mine

All mine

Hey

All mine, ooh
