Seventeen Lyrics - Singles - Youth Lagoon

Roaming the campground out by the lake where we swam 

We were hunting for snakes 

But we couldn't find them 

Surrounded by nothing 

But the nothing's surrounded by us 

But it's just me in my room 

With my eyes shut 

When I was seventeen 

My mother said to me 

"Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die." 

Now I pull a wanton carriage 

Instead of the horses, grazing along 

I was having fun 

We were all having fun 

My brain kicking faster than I can 

But not fast enough 

Who is there to talk to 

That won't lock me up? 

At least God doesn't judge me by the thoughts that I find 

The snakes I couldn't find 

I don't want to find 

When I was seventeen 

My mother said to me 

"Don't stop imagining. The day that you do is the day that you die." 

Now I pull a wanton carriage 

Instead of the horses, grazing along 

I was having fun 

We were all having fun
