Seventeen

I was always taught to forgive and forget

I live a simple life but I can't pretend

Like it's all ok, when really it's not

Because I've learned that liars get caught

I know I'm only seventeen

But things get rough

When you live in this town and you know you're stuck

Until you get a car

And even then, you won't get far

Don't get me wrong, it's been a party

But I think I'm passing out

I'm seventeen and it's hard enough

To understand that I'm growing up fast

My mom and dad, were all I had

But everybody drifts like yes

There's always gotta be a better place than here

I can feel the sun, but I'm nowhere near

So what do you say, we make like angels

And get the hell outta here

I could make an honest living at the grocery store

With all the people who forgot their dreams

And closed the doors

But I know that I need more

I can't survive on mopping floors

Now the days of the week are all the same

If I'm not at work, then I'm with my friends

Doing stupid things, I wont forget

Until the day I die

Don't get me wrong, it's been a party

But I need to move along

I'm seventeen and it's hard enough

To understand that I'm growing up fast

My mom and dad, were all I had

But everybody drifts like yes

There's always gonna be a better place than here

I can feel the sun but I'm no where near

So what do you say, we make like angels

And get the hell outta here.

Woooaaaahhhhh

Let's get the hell outta here

Woooaaaahhhhh

Let's get the hell outta here

Woooaaaahhhhh

Let's get the hell outta here.

I'm seventeen and it's hard enough

To understand that I'm growing up fast.

My mom and dad, were all I had

But everybody drifts like yes

There's always gonna be a better place than here

I can feel the sun but I'm nowhere near

So what do you say, we make like angels

And get the hell outta here.

So what, do you say?

We get the hell outta here.
