[00:04.722]"After 17"
[00:17.326]Her right hand closed the front porch door
[00:21.138]Suddenly a child no more
[00:24.695]All the ribbons all the bows in a box now on her closet floor
[00:32.412]Anxious for whats to come
[00:35.716]Afraid to leave a place she loves
[00:39.324]Shes not a woman not a girl
[00:44.864]Trying to find her place in this crazy world
[00:48.525]Meet a lover make a friend
[00:52.79]Try and figure out what this life really means
[00:57.417]After 17
[01:11.311]Broken hearts and rusted dreams
[01:14.357]Sometimes make it hard to leave and
[01:18.622]Certainty is out of reach even with some self belief
[01:25.45]So she bites her lip and shows a smile
[01:29.465]Flips her hair and flaunts her style
[01:34.138]Shes not a woman not a girl
[01:38.508]Trying to find her place in this crazy world
[01:41.871]Meet a lover make a friend
[01:45.937]Try and figure out what this life really means
[01:52.336]After 17
[01:59.871]Her memories she stowed away
[02:25.118]Pulls them out on rainy days
[02:28.581]And brand new faces take their place beside the ones that never fade
[02:35.393]Shes strong and fragile,weak and smart
[02:39.309]Whatever the cost she plays the part
[02:42.867]Shes not a woman not a girl
[02:48.610]Trying to find her place in this crazy world
[02:52.13]Meet a lover make a friend
[02:56.81]Try and figure out what this life really means
[03:00.246]After 17
[03:23.116]Her right hand closed the front porch door
[03:28.856]And suddenly a child no more.
