Seventeen Lyrics

If I were a million miles in the air,

Would you try and reach me.

Would you even care.

What if I were right behind,

Would you turn to see,

You would come to realize,

I'm only 17.

Back when I would shut my eyes,

Just to hear you breathe.

I was only half alive,

And you were in between.

Did you see the skyline,

Monuments and all.

They could not compare to

What you were before

Back when I would bide my time,

Close but indiscreet,

I would rather be resigned,

Than speak and risk defeat.

Now that I adjust my eyes,

As you turn to leave,

I have come to realize,

That I was only 17.

Only 17.
