Seventeen Songtext
von Abbe May

I remember I was seventeen
I didn′t care for anything but me
I was lying to my parents nearly all the time
And sneaking through a bedroom window most nights
Before I knew it, I was twenty-one
I got a bad tattoo, but so did everyone
I broke a heart and only missed it when it was gone
I only missed you when you were gone

I love you, ooh
Even though it kills me too

A spiral into whiskey, weed, and life rewinds
I spent my nights singing with the ghost of Patsy Cline
By the time I turned twenty-eight
I learned how easily lust could turn to hate
Responsibility clogged my soul
Satin's all black veil from my head to toe
I said goodbye to my youth as my inability
For sobriety became the only thing that gave me notoriety


I love you
Even though it kills me too

I love you
I love you
Oh, I love you, love you, love you
I love you, oh, I love you
I love you, love you, love you

Something happened to me when you were born
A kind of lightning strike where I was floored
I was struck by how small you were
And somehow that made me even smaller
In this universe inside some kind of multiverse
Chorus verse, chorus verse
It′s just a song, but it's sung from the heart of a firebird
That was phoenixed back from the moon


I love you
I love you
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you, oh, I love you
Oh, yeah, I love you
Oh, I love you
I love you
Hey, hey, oh
