Seventeen by Exit 18 Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm just seventeen shy of the all-time high
Get low, get down, get by
I've got one more year 'till my eighteenth here
When I can show you mine

[Verse 1]
The possession of my body isn't compromised
By the lack of its permission to leave
I am mine
And in my youth I find
I was never meant to be clean
And what I seem to find peculiar
The lack of your perception to see
I can't be tamed by your naiveté, no
I gotta know the notion of feeling free

[Chorus]
I'm just seventeen shy of the all-time high
Get low, get down, get by
I've got one more year 'till my eighteenth here
When I can show you mine
[Verse 2]
You're dangling my dignity just outta my reach
But independence isn't a sin
Except when you're defined as a minor
Then god forbid I taint my skin
And what I seem to find peculiar
The lack of your perception to read
Between my lines, I'm on the other side
Just waiting for my day to be free

[Chorus]
I'm just seventeen shy of the all-time high
Get low, get down, get by
I've got one more year 'till my eighteenth here
When I can show you mine

[Bridge]
My eyes have been closed
To the weight of the world
I don't wish to be deaf by your palms anymore
Warn me of the way I love with no control
I was born to wreck this home

[Chorus]
I'm just seventeen shy of the all-time high
Get low, get down, get by
I've got one more year 'till my eighteenth here
When I can show you mine
All mine
Hey
All mine
HAHAHAHA
