lyrics

I say to myself this is not where I'm supposed to be
With the light in my eyes shining from the TV screen
There are places to go, places I've never been
There are things still to know, things I have never seen

I say to myself, "Boy, you can't think straight anymore -
"so drop everything, I'm walking out that door -
there's a world out there, and it holds so much more -
than life in my room, staring at the floor"

We won't always be seventeen
I won't always be seventeen
Across the street, the grass is always green
Oh, when you're seventeen

There's no more swing sets, no playing in the yard
And it seems growing up for me is very hard
For the child I once was is not the child I am now
And the life I once knew, took for granted - I don't know how

And I walk down the street, the sun setting right in my eyes
I'm no longer the child who thinks it's okay to cry

We won't always be seventeen
I won't always be seventeen
Across the street, the grass is always green
Oh, when you're seventeen
Oh, when you're seventeen
You're caught in the in-between
