After 17 lyrics
Her right hand closed the front porch door
Suddenly a child no more
All the ribbons, all the bows
In a box now on her closet floor
Anxious for what's to come
Afraid to leave a place she loves
She's not a woman, not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover, make a friend
Trying to figure out what this life really means
After 17
Broken hearts and rusted dreams
Sometimes make it hard to leave
Certainty is out of reach
Even with some self-beliefs
So she bites her lip and shows a smile
Flips her hair and flaunts her style
She's not a woman, not a girl
Meet a lover, make a friend
Trying to figure out what this life really means
After 17
Her memories she stowed away
Pulls them out on rainy days
Brand new faces take their place
Beside the ones that never fade
She's strong and fragile, weak and smart
Whatever cost she plays the part
She's not a woman, not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover, make a friend
Trying to figure out what this life really means
After 17, after 17
Her right hand closed the front porch door
And suddenly a child no more
Her right hand closed the front porch door
Suddenly a child no more
All the ribbons, all the bows
Part of these releases
