Alessia Cara - Seventeen Lyrics
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
We all 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 yesteryears
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
So hear me scream
I was too young to understand what it means
I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen
I thought he lied when he said take my time to dream
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I'm Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
My mother said don't forget where you come from, where you've been
Always 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 truer words
In all my days I've ever heard
And when she told me little girl the answer is love
So those are words that I keep with me
Though the seasons change so quickly
Keep them buried in my heart
And never fought
So hear me scream
I was too young to understand what it means
I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen
I thought she lied when she said "take my time to breathe"
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I'm Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
I been goin on, I been growin up
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 gotta prepare for when goings rough
I was too young to understand what it means
I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen
I thought she lied when she said "take my time to breathe"
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I'm Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Ohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Seventeen
Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen

When u are young u would be like "I can't wait to get older so I can do many things" but when Mr grown finally knocks at your door and u start seeing all the pains of growing u would be like "I wish I could be young forever" or have some kind of super power and freeze time.
I turned seventeen today
Hello to my fellow demon followed people, you have found the fort front of angels
Her songs are timeless.
This song and video makes me cry. so beautiful
Amo essa música de todo o meu coração
Haha I’m 11 y’all 17 I’m 11 it so fun but I don’t understand
Best songs comes from this girl
she posted this video on my birthday.... that's a sign, I'am going to sing that song on my seventeenth birthday.....
Turning 18 in just a few hours so I'm here :/
Me too🙃
This song came out when I was like 14 or had just turned 15. Back then I just wanted to study for the final exam for high school despite it being two, nearly three years away. I kept this mentality, counting down the years then months then weeks all the way until only a few weeks before it was due to come.
Then I finally realised I’m only ever gonna be in high school once, and I should enjoy it while I could. I didn’t throw the exam by any means but I knew to appreciate what I had before it was finished. And now I’ve finally graduated and finished the exams. And I’m 17. I think I understand this song much better than when I first heard it. I really was too young to understand what it means. I really couldn’t wait until I could be seventeen and finish the exam.
I focused on this one thing all those years, nearly the majority of my teen years, and neglected to appreciate them properly in their moment. But shit, I’m still young. Still have uni. Still be a teen then a young adult for a while. So not all is lost, and I’ll be sure to take this lesson with me well into the future.

I miss dis 17 of my life, what a beautiful life and years
I prefer 80's metal.

I'm twelve and I want to go back to first grade. Every year I wish that my life was a dream and I'll wake up and be seven again. <3<3
You make me feel happy and I think I speak for several people

I’m not even 17 and I understand this song.
I'm now 15 ........but I love this song_____................
I love this song deeply. It came out when I was 14 going on 15 and now, in one more week, I will be 17 years old. I understood what she meant in the song at 14. I got the basic message. But for the first time as I watch this video I feel what she means. I feel it deep in my soul. And right after this I’m listening to growing pains. Thank you Alessia for your music. Never knew how hard this song would hit me till now. To the younger teens reading this, don’t grow up to fast. Enjoy each moment at each age for all it has to offer and be wise with your time. You don’t get it back ❤️
I'm 17 and I'm wasting my life on laying in bed and looking at my phone all day I wanna die lol.
I just turned 17 today ❤
@Teagan Eiken thanks ❤
It’s so crazy listening to this- this was my song at 17, now I’m 19. Feels so long ago
I can wait till I’m 17 :p
3:08 she forgets the words
I was 9 when this came out. 12 now. I'm gonna come back here every year until I'm 17, or at least I'll try. What a world, huh?
I'm scared, man. I'm scared of growing up, of living life, of the future, of everything out of my control. Of dying so early. I'm scared. I'm just a kid, and the world is this...terrifying place. I'm scared of it. Terrified of it all.
-Yours truly
