Seventeen   Claiming absolution   To perceptions of the world   You believe   The evidence is clear   The truths you hold so dear   You'll always be the same      Seventeen   Trying as they might   To show you things   You think you've already seen   You have no axe to grind   It's just that you'll be fine   You'll always be the same   You're the same      Seventeen      Seventeen   Your hopes and dreams   Are pressed between the pages   Of your reality   The feelings are ingrained   You have no heart to change   You'll always be the same   You're the same      Seventeen      Seventeen   You'll never see it coming   When you blink   And then it's all history   The way you think will change   You'll never be the same   You'll never be the same   You'll never be the same      Seventeen
