17 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
See, as people we try to please one another
In order to be equal, we lie so we don’t have to suffer
But I’m tired of hiding for the benefit of my peers
What’s so wrong with shining?
Why’ve you got so much fear?
[Pre-Chorus]
I got my skin all out
I don’t care, I’m proud to be me
Yeah
I was scared to stand out
Now I’m wearing my hair down
[Chorus]
And I feel so free
Oh it’s good to be seventeen
Well I feel so free
Oh it’s good to be seventeen
Seventeen
[Verse 2]
See, as teenagers we think we have to blend it
But if you want to be greater than this, there’s no use in pretending
Cause I tried to change myself for the benefit of my friends
Well now it’s time to wave goodbye cause
My used-to-be’s are at an end
[Pre-Chorus]
I got my skin all out
I don’t care, I’m proud to be me
Yeah
I was scared to stand out
Now I’m wearing my hair down
[Chorus]

And I feel so free
Oh it’s good to be seventeen, baby
I feel so free
Oh it’s good to be seventeen
Seventeen
[Post-Chorus]
I will be myself cause I like who I’m becoming
If you’re ready come with me, these boots are made for running
But, I’m sick of running in circles around ya
This ain't about ya, this ain't about ya
[Pre-Chorus]
I got my skin all out
I don’t care I’m proud to be me, yeah
And I was scared to stand out
Now I’m wearing my hair down
[Chorus]
And I feel so free
Oh it’s good to be seventeen
Seventeen
Seventeen
Seventeen
Seventeen
[Post-Chorus]
I will be myself cause I like who I’m becoming
If you’re ready come with me, these boots are made for running
But, I’m sick of running in circles around ya
This ain't about ya, this ain't about ya
