Seventeen

Pale yellow light breaks through the night

As if it matters at all

And at the edge of jet-black skies

I won't jump, but I might fall

I had a dream once, thought I'd try

To take my back off of the wall

But every time I think I might

I feel so small

It's not like I'm better off anyways

Than I was when I was seventeen

Be mine, be mine, I'm your girl

And you know exactly why that hurts

Well, are you out somewhere tonight?

Figured I'd give you a call

I heard it somewhere through the vine

You're just as delicate and raw

Had an idea, I thought we might

Drive someplace far enough away

And if I say that I'm alright

At least you'll stay

It's not like I'm better off anyways

Than I was when I was seventeen

Be mine, be mine, I'm your girl

And you know just how it hurts

Hurts
