17 - Genevieve Stokes

Lyrics by：Genevieve Curtis

I was only 17

Dreamt of being on a silver screen

I was only 17

When I met you

Living in the haze made by

Loved ones who had raised me

I knew where I had to be but I wasn't there yet

But when I fall asleep I fall back home

And when I close my eyes

I find that there's more to life than I've known

And when I hear my stranger in my own bed

I know that there's more to this life then

Thought you were the only one who knew me

I was a stranger in my own heart

And when you left I thought I never would recover

The mask that I hid under blew apart

But growing up isn't growing hard

It's realising that we're part of the stars

So much love and so much that I've yet to see

But I'm not who I thought I'd be

At 17

But when I fall asleep I fall back home

And when I close my eyes

I find that there's more to life than I've known

And when I hear my stranger in my own bed

I know that there's more to this life then

Do you fight it

Do you keep on running away

Do you fight it

Is this all you thought you could take

Do you fight it

Do you really want that or were you told to be

Someone else at 17
