Seventeen

Took some time for you to see me
Just wanted you to know I think that you're the bee's knees
Can't look you in the eyes, I stare at my feet
Hold you tight, wouldn't want you to leave
Maybe I'll try to come to school once in a while just to see you
You said goodbye and to this day thinking about it makes me feel blue

I always said I feel like I'm in purgatory
I hope that it gets better when I'm seventeen

I'm turning all my pictures around
'Cause we both know everything looks better upside down
Should I dye my hair back to brown?
It's been a while since I saw you downtown
Maybe it's time that I shaved my head and bought some new clothes
You'll ask me why and to that, I'll say that I don't know

I always said I feel like I'm in purgatory
I hope that it gets better when I'm seventeen

I don't care about being on my own
Actually I do, but I don't want you to know
I don't care about being on my own
Actually I do, but I don't want you to know

I always said I feel like I'm in purgatory
I hope that it gets better when I'm seventeen
