17

Where'd you go 17
Living life at the edge
Stuck between kid and adult
Abyss looming as we teeter on the ledge

With the world in our hands
And fire in our eyes
We didn't care about apathy
As long as we got high on Friday night

Our minds spun on donut rides
In a gravel parking lot
Copping beers from the store
Hoping we didn't get caught

Speeding fast with windows down
Wind blowing through our hair
Meeting up with friends in town
Without worry or care

Come back 17
I'm lost in this confusing world
I found the oyster
But there was no pearl
