Seventeen

Water running down the corners of her eyes
Madness springing from the center of her mind
She's dancing - she can do the moves like anyone
Pretending she can catch the moment when it's gone

And then she turns the other way
And says there's nothing left to say
But I want her to understand now
She's not the one who's in command now
And what does she mean...
I have never been seventeen?

Love me - come and tell me I'm the only one
Holde me - come and tell me I'm the lucky one
I want you to show me - show me there's a reason to believe
You know me - All I have is all I'll ever need

But then you turn the other way
And say there's nothing left to say
Well I want you to understand now
You're not the one who's in demand now
And what do you mean...
I have never been seventeen?
