Lyrics

[INTRO]

[Verse1]
Got my learner's permit in my wallet now
Scrolling through TikTok in my old tree house
Can't believe how fast this year flew by
Mom still treats me like I'm five

[Pre-chorus]
One more month till birthday candles
One more summer to handle
Standing right on this thin line
Between what's yours and what's mine

[CHORUS]
Seventeen going on forever
Not quite ready to be better
Got one foot in my childhood room
And one foot in what's coming soon
(What's coming soon)

[Verse2]
Selfies with my favorite stuffed bear
Group chat's blowing up about what to wear
College letters piling on my desk
While I'm still watching Netflix

[Pre-chorus]
One more month till birthday candles
One more summer to handle
Caught between who I've been
And who I'm gonna be at eighteen

[CHORUS]
Seventeen going on forever
Not quite ready to be better
Got one foot in my childhood room
And one foot in what's coming soon
(What's coming soon)

[BRIDGE]
Dad keeps asking 'bout my future plans
While I'm still trying to hold on to my teenage hands
I'm searching for a light in the dark of night
Trying to find my way, feeling alive

[CHORUS]
Seventeen going on forever
Not quite ready to be better
Got one foot in my childhood room
And one foot in what's coming soon
(What's coming soon)

[OUTRO]
I'll take one last look around
This chapter's closing, a new one's found
Seventeen going on forever
In my heart, I'll hold it forever.
