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 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 Seventeen and sorry I don't know nobody Like I used to Dancing round a smoke filled bedroom, oh Seventeen, I'm sorry But I don't trust nobody When they surround me Still want some of what they're having, though 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 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 Seventeen and sorry I don't know nobody Like I used to Dancing round a smoke filled bedroom, oh Seventeen, I'm sorry But I don't trust nobody When they surround me Still want some of what they're having, though They say you don't want it But I do My whole life I've been waiting To be like you
