Seventeen Lyrics - Know-it-all - Alessia Cara

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

My daddy says that life comes at you fast 

We are like blades of grass 

We come to prime and in time we just wither away 

And it all changes 

My view with a looking glass won't catch the past 

Only photographs remind us of the passing of days 

Oh nothing stays the same from yesteryears 

See, I recall being afraid of the dark 

And holding on to teddy bears 

I'd wrap myself in blankets just to cover me from fears 

That was then and now I'm here

And the night is mine 

So hear me scream 

I was too young to understand what it means 

I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen 

I thought he lied when he said take my time to dream 

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen 

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

I'm Seventeen 

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

Seventeen 

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

Seventeen 

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen 

Photos 

My mother said don't forget where you come from, where you've been 

Always keep your closest friends they can't slip away 

They keep you grounded 

Oh keep yourself surrounded with good advice 

And yeah I guess that sounded nice when I was ten 

Oh but never were there truer words 

In all my days I've ever heard 

And when she told me little girl the answer is love 

So those are words that I keep with me 

Though the seasons change so quickly 

Keep them buried in my heart 

And never far 

So hear me scream 

I was too young to understand what it means 

I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen 

I thought she lied when she said take my time and breathe 

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen 

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

I'm Seventeen 

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

Seventeen 

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

Seventeen 

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen 

I been goin on, I been growin up 

I'm a know it all, I don't know enough 

See I was racing and waiting for the day that I would be old enough 

Guess I'll be patient and pace myself gotta prepare for when goings rough 

I was too young to understand what it means 

I couldn't wait til I could be seventeen 

I thought she lied when she said take my time and breathe 

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen 

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

I'm Seventeen 

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

Seventeen 

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh 

Seventeen 

Now I wish I could freeze the time at seventeen
