“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

[Verse] We were together Hand in hand Two years of love Our hearts so grand But little did we know Fate had other plans Bindhu my love why did it have to end [Verse 2] We built our dreams Castle in the air Laughter and tears Every moment shared Now I'm here alone In this empty space Bindhu your touch I can't replace [Chorus] Why did it have to be us Falling apart When did the distance start growing in our hearts We'll keep our memories In the dark Bindhu my love It tears me apart [Bridge] Lonely nights I call your name Echoes of love It’s all just the same Watched us fade like sunsets do Bindhu my dear Without you I'm blue [Verse 3] Promises we made Written in the stars Now broken fragments Scattered so far Love turned to shadows A bittersweet scar Bindhu my love You’re still in my heart [Chorus] Why did it have to be us Falling apart When did the distance start growing in our hearts We'll keep our memories In the dark Bindhu my love It tears me apart
[Verse] I wake up with the sunrise in my eyes Chasing dreams like butterflies in skies Laughing loud with the world on pause Running wild no worries no cause [Verse 2] Dancing shoes and neon city lights Heartbeats fast under starry nights We’re flying high can you feel the thrill No turning back we get our fill [Chorus] Give me anything that makes me feel alive Through ups and downs we'll always thrive Take on the world with a little smile Anything happens let's stay awhile [Verse 3] Scribbled notes in a summer breeze We catch our breath with every tease Flashing lights and secrets shared In this world nothing's dared [Bridge] Sing it loud from rooftop shout Twist and turn let's see it out Every line a story told Every note pure gold [Chorus] Give me anything that makes me feel alive Through ups and downs we'll always thrive Take on the world with a little smile Anything happens let's stay awhile
Spójrzcie wszyscy, no co za pech, Siedzicie w ciszy, nuda i stres. Ale jest wyjście, włączamy grę, Nudnym zadaniom – mówimy nie! To jeży czas! Nie czekaj już, Łap swojego laptoka, wskakuj tu! Pokój otwarty, wchodźmy w ten świat, To jeży czas, to jeży czas! Jacek się czai, udaje, że śpi, A Piotrek w mailach pogubił się dziś. Hej, chłopaki, dość tego już, Czas na jeże – dołączcie tu! To jeży czas! Nie czekaj już, Łap swojego laptoka, wskakuj tu! Pokój otwarty, wchodźmy w ten świat, To jeży czas, to jeży czas! Siedzimy razem, śmiejemy się, Rakiety lecą, wybuchając nagle. Każdy dołącza, nie ma już „ale”, Bo jeże zawsze łączą nas stale! To jeży czas! Nie czekaj już, Łap swojego laptoka, wskakuj tu! Pokój otwarty, wchodźmy w ten świat, To jeży czas, to jeży czas!

Badasha wo badasha
Where are you my sky Where is my sun You disappear whyyyy was this done Without you I might die And I’m starting to cry I wanna have fun I can’t live this lie it’s the truth I can’t deny And now it’s begun Its kept me all bound And it makes me pissed But soon it will be found And when it is Ill be on the ground With my perma frown With tears on my face In a race to feel great Where is this person at? I crave them in my life There’s no way this can worsen And won’t care if they cause strife Honestly, it’s all on me. This is just how I’m meant to be Seemingly eternally Desperately Lonely Oh sky, Oh WHYYYYYY?! Must you be gone today? Why today of all days? Are your beautiful rays covered by this depressing GREY haze? pleeaaaasseeee come back?
