"Seventeen" lyrics

Headbands, and thick eyeliner
Teenage romance with a vampire
Funny girl is never the bride
Feelings make me anxious so I keep them inside
It's a straight line to normalcy kid
Never had braces, guess I got nothing to fix
So I walk home and listen to music
Too dumb to notice that I couldn't choose it

Everything was lame when I was 17
So I'm trying to be that person that I could have been
And, no I can't complain with all the things I've seen
Do you think that nothing lasts forever?

Perfect curls and summer dresses
Waking up at 7, making sure I'd impress him
Passing tests with flying colors
Spending time at home while friends were under the covers

Everything was lame when I was 17
So I'm trying to be that person that I could have been
And, no I can't complain with all the things I've seen
Do you think that nothing lasts forever?

You'd think, you'd think, that it will last forever
Now I'm 23, still feel like a teen
Now I'm 23, still feel like a teen
Now I'm 23, still feel like a teen
Now I'm 23, still feel like a teen
