Seventeen Lyrics

For seventeen long years I've tried

I've been trying far too long

That maybe we could separate these feeling fact from fiction

Or maybe we could re-create all these feeling that we've made

If we could just break down these walls

My teenage days would crumble

And if you talk to us

Sarcasm suits you better than lust

And if you want to impress me

Then maybe that's your problem

I'm seventeen

For seventeen long years we've fought

We've been fighting far too long

Now maybe we could separate disfunction from rebellion

Or maybe we could stand all night

Pretending that's our alibi

If we could just break down these walls

Our teenage days would crumble

And if you talk to us

Sarcasm suits you better than lust

And if you want to impress me

Then maybe that's your problem

But I try so hard to be wanted

Can't you see

That's your problem

The only thing that you should feel is tragedy

That's your problem

But I try so hard to be wanted

Can't you see

That's your problem

The only thing that you should feel is tragedy

That's your problem

That's your problem

That's your problem

That's your problem

That's your problem

That's your problem

That's when you take it away

And if you talk to us

Sarcasm suits you better than lust

And if you want to impress me

Then maybe that's your problem

I'm seventeen
