"17" lyrics

Last night I had a date with old high school friends
I didn't know that he'd come along with them
And oh my God
He is still so hot
And all grown up

He started reminiscing. I didn't catch a thing
The music was too loud and the wine kicked in
Couldn't help but think
I'm too old for this
But I won't admit it

He pulled me closer just to say
I'm the one that got away
So I slowly grabbed his face

We should have danced when I was 17
We should have slept when I still cared 'bout dreams
We could have been together
Happily ever after
Just like in my teenage fantasies

We should have danced when I was 17
Now here we are in 2023
We could have been forever
But you fucking never
Gave me any teenage memories
Now you're too late
Now you're too late

Back then I was below him and I could tell
But now he wants a piece cause I'm doing well?
His long-lost friends
With their Bieber bangs
Are now my fans

He tried to catch me in his arms
Told me I'm the girl he wants
So I slowly broke his heart

We should have danced when I was 17
We should have slept when I still cared 'bout dreams
We could have been together
Happily ever after
Just like in my teenage fantasies

We should have danced when I was 17
Now here we are in 2023
We could have been forever
But you fucking never
Gave me any teenage memories
Now you're too late
Now you're too late

Now you're too late

I got older
I got wiser
Though I miss those good old times I
Never wonder
What's it's like to
Live it all again

We should have danced when I was 17
We should have slept when I still cared 'bout dreams
We could have been forever
But you fucking never
Gave me any teenage memories
Now you're too late
