Lyrics

Up Seventeen


I see you shining when the lights are low,
I feel the tension when you start the show,
That?s when I snap it off and let you know
I want to be up seventeen again.

And if you?re somewhere in between the pain,
Tied to the rhythm of the driving rain,
Or just a princess on a lady?s chain,
I want to be up seventeen again.

Nothing to say: I can?t hear your voices anyway,
Nothing to defend: look right into my eyes and let me tell you again?

I want to be the one to clear your eyes,
I want to strip you from your cheap disguise,
I want no conditional compromise,
I want to be up seventeen again.

Nothing to say: I can?t hear your voices anyway,
Nothing to defend: look right into my eyes and let me tell you again?

I want to be the one to clear your eyes,
I want to strip you from your cheap disguise,
I want no conditional compromise,
I want to be up seventeen again.
I want to be up seventeen again.
