The years slip by like radio waves My past plays out like an old arcade Time is the fire in which we burn It's what I want most, but what I use worst
I'm 17, but I won't be for long And if you're 17 and you're hearing this song In 2018 In 2020 In 3013 You'll know the feeling This isn't timeless You will never be here again
But I feel my life coming, driving my dreams I want to capture this moment, preserve it in reams Slow down my blood flow, look up to the sky Throw up a sun ray, then help shield my eyes And I'll keep track of white lies
But I love wishing Oh yeah I love knowing that the best is the come I said there's no magic I said there's no magic that could rival this one And I'm oh, so happy Yeah I'm so happy that I'm who I should be And the world is spinning Yeah, the world is spinning to the rhythm of me
