Seventeen Songtext
von Sharon Van Etten

I know what you wanna say

I think that you′re all the same

Constantly being led astray

He's thinking of something you don′t

Downtown harks back
Halfway up the street
I used to be free
I used to be seventeen
Follow my shadow
Around your corner
I used to be seventeen
Now you're just like me

Down beneath the ashes and the stone

Sure of what I've lived and have known

I see you so uncomfortably alone

I wish I could show you how much you′ve grown

Downtown harks back


I used to be on this street
I used to be seventeen
I used to be seventeen
Now you′re half shy
Hanging on my block
Sun coming up
Who's my shadow?

I know what you′re gonna be

I know that you're gonna be

You′re crumbling up just to see

Afraid that you'll be just like me

Downtown harks back
Halfway through this life
I used to feel free
Was it just a dream?
Now you′re half shy
Think you're so carefree

But you're just seventeen
So much like me
You′re just seventeen
You′re just seventeen
Seventeen
