Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know what you wanna say
I think that you're all the same
Constantly being led astray
You think you know something you don't
[Chorus]
Downtown hotspot
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Downtown hotspot
Used to be on this street
I used to be seventeen
I used to be seventeen
Now you're a hot shot
Hanging on my block
Sun coming up
Who's my shadow?
[Bridge]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 3]
I know what you're gonna be
I know that you're gonna be
You'll crumble it up just to see
Afraid that you'll be just like me
[Chorus]
Downtown hotspot
Halfway through this life
I used to feel free
Or was it just a dream?
Now you're a hot shot
Think you're so carefree
But you're just seventeen
So much like me
[Outro]
You're just seventeen
You're just seventeen
Seventeen
