Seventeen

I know what you wanna say
 ♪
 I think that you're all the same
 
 Constantly being led astray
 
 He's thinking of something you don't
 ♪
 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
 Down beneath the ashes and the stone
 Sure of what I've lived and have known
 
 I see you so uncomfortably alone
 I wish I could show you how much you've grown
 Downtown harks back
 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?
 ♪
 I know what you're gonna be
 ♪
 I know that you're gonna be
 You're crumbling up just to see
 Afraid that you'll be just like me
 
 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
 But you're just seventeen
 So much like me
 You're just seventeen
 You're just seventeen
