You're on the ride, but it's not like they said it was

You had a plan, but it wasn't quite good enough

You're in the race, but you just feel like giving up

You have a song, now you just wanna turn it up

Jump on your feet, get up and pass go

Yeah, now dance when I say so

She likes to dream, I can see it in her eyes

She's on automatic

At seventeen, only wants what she can't find

She's on automatic

Catching up wasn't quite like they said it was

Finding love isn't fun if it hurts too much

Losing friends 'cause you can't always stay in touch

A broken heart only comes up if you're growing up

Jump on your feet, get up and pass go

Yeah, now dance when I say so

She likes to dream, I can see it in her eyes

She's on automatic

At seventeen, only wants what she can't find

She's on automatic

Light it up like a star in the night sky

It's so dramatic

A pretty girl with a spark that she can't hide

She's on automatic

She likes to dream, I can see it in her eyes

She's on automatic

At seventeen, only wants what she can't find

She's on automatic

Light it up like a star in the night sky

It's so dramatic

A pretty girl with a spark that she can't hide

She's on automatic

(She's on automatic) Automatic

(She's on automatic) Automatic

(She's on automatic) So dramatic

(She's on automatic) Automatic
