[Verse 1]
What I’d do to take her place, the star of basement smoke
But I’d only trip over my tongue
What I’d give to have her jacket pockets, jagged throat
Settling on champagne lungs
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to break
And tear
And cut off all my hair
Only this once
I swear
I’ve suffered
I’m feeling insecure
Insatiated, bored
C’mon, let’s see
Who’s more
Unbothered
[Chorus]
Seventeen and sorry
I don’t know nobody
Like I used to
Dancing round a smoke filled bedroom, oh (oh!)
Seventeen, I’m sorry
But I don’t trust nobody
When they surround me
Still want some of what they’re having, though
[Verse 2]
Sweet insistence and the colors all begin to bleed
Suddenly it’s burning up inside— fight or flight
Poison princess in a sea of sharks ready to feed
Think I’ll be walking home tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to crash
And burn
And somehow never learn
I’d spin around
And turn
To ashes
But I’m so weak
And small
I’d never risk the fall
So I’ll stay low
Become
My shadow
[Chorus]
Seventeen and sorry
I don’t know nobody
Like I used to
Dancing round a smoke filled bedroom, oh (oh!)
Seventeen, I’m sorry
But I don’t trust nobody
When they surround me
Still want some of what they’re having, though (oh!)
[Outro]
They say you don’t want it
But I do
My whole life I’ve been waiting
To be like you
