Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
My daddy says that life comes at you fast We are like blades of grass
We come to prime and in time we just wither away
And it all changes My view with a looking glass
Won't catch the past Only photographs remind us
Of the passing of days Oh, nothing stays the same
From yesteryear See, I recall being afraid of the dark
And holding on to teddy bears I'd wrap myself in blankets
Just to cover me from fears That was then and now I'm here
And the night is mine So hear me scream
I was too young to understand what it means
I couldn't wait till I could be seventeen
I thought it loud when he said
Take me home, take me home, take me home

I stole my time to dream Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooh
17
17
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooh
17
17
17
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Ohh, uhh

















Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
My mother said, don't forget Where you come from, where you been
Always you keep your closest friends
They can't slip away, they keep you grounded
Oh, keep yourself surrounded with good advice
And yeah, I guess that sounded nice when I was ten
Oh, but never were there true words in all my days I've ever heard
Then when she told me, little girl, the answer is love
Said those are words that I keep with me
Though the seasons change so quickly
Keep them buried in my heart and never fall
So hear me scream
I was too young to understand what it means
I couldn't wait till I could be seventeen
I thought she lied when she said take my time and breathe
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
17
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
17
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
17
Now I wish I could freeze the time at 17
I've been going off
I've been going off
I'm a know-it-all
I don't know enough
See, I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old enough
Guess I'll be patient and pace myself
Better prepare for when going's rough
I was too young to understand what it means
I couldn't wait till I could be 17
I thought she lied when she said, take my time to breathe
Now I wish I could freeze the time at 17
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
17
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
17
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
17
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
17
Now I wish I could freeze the time at 17
