“Seventeen” (The Saddest Song About Outgrowing Love & Being Left Behind) Verse 1 You were twenty, and I was seventeen You had bars and basements, I had childhood dreams Three years don’t sound like much ‘Til you’re too busy growing up I kept the promise, I held on tight But you let go somewhere that night You said “Don’t wait up, I’ll call you soon” But I learned silence speaks louder than you Pre-Chorus And do you ever flinch when you hear my name? Or am I just a love you outgrew like a phase? Would you even notice if I walked away? Would you even care if I never stayed? Chorus Somewhere, still, I wait for you Like a fool who don’t know when to leave Somewhere, still, I whisper your name Like a prayer no one will believe But you’re not the same, you’re someone new And I’m just a kid compared to you Funny how time makes love feel small Funny how I don’t know you at all Verse 2 You’re laughing loud in someone else’s car Drunk off cheap beer and cheap goodbyes You say “It’s just college, it’s not that deep” But when did it get so easy to forget me? And I wonder, when you close your eyes Do I still live somewhere in your mind? Or am I just a name you used to know A ghost in a town you outgrew long ago? Pre-Chorus And do you ever flinch when you hear my name? Or am I just a love you outgrew like a phase? Would you even notice if I walked away? Would you even care if I never stayed? Chorus Somewhere, still, I hold on tight To the boy who swore I was his whole life Somewhere, still, I whisper your name Like a secret I can’t let slip away But you’re not the same, you’re someone new And I’m just a kid compared to you Funny how time makes love feel small Funny how I don’t know you at all Bridge I was seventeen, believing in forever You were twenty, already knowing better I thought love could make you stay But love is not a choice you made I was seventeen, waiting in the dark While you were twenty, drinking in her car And I thought love was all we’d need But I was just a kid, and you were twenty-three Chorus (Stripped Down, Devastating) Somewhere, still, I wait for you Like a fool who don’t know when to leave Somewhere, still, I whisper your name Like a prayer no one will believe But you’re not the same, you’re someone new And I’m just a kid compared to you Funny how time makes love feel small Funny how I don’t know you at all Outro I was seventeen, you were twenty Three years ain’t much ‘til it’s everything I swore I knew you, swore you’d care But you were gone before I got there
