Lyrics of Seventeen by Sharon Van Etten

verse

I know what you wanna say

verse

I think that you're all the same

verse

Constantly being led astray

verse

He's thinking of something you don't

verse

Downtown harks back
Halfway up the street
I used to be free
I used to be seventeen
Follow my shadow
Around your corner
I used to be seventeen
Now you're just like me

verse

Down beneath the ashes and the stone

verse

Sure of what I've lived and have known

verse

I see you so uncomfortably alone

verse

I wish I could show you how much you've grown

verse

Downtown harks back

verse

I used to be on this street
I used to be seventeen
I used to be seventeen
Now you're half shy
Hanging on my block
Sun coming up
Who's my shadow?

verse

I know what you're gonna be

verse

I know that you're gonna be

verse

You're crumbling up just to see

verse

Afraid that you'll be just like me

verse

Downtown harks back
Halfway through this life
I used to feel free
Was it just a dream?
Now you're half shy
Think you're so carefree

verse

But you're just seventeen
So much like me
You're just seventeen
You're just seventeen
Seventeen
Writer(s): Sharon Van Etten, Kate Davis
