People think she's flying, but she swims in a sea of doubt
Her lips pretend to be smiling, but in silence she screams out
Living life is staying clear of those who love and despise her
She feels she's getting older, but she's not getting any wiser
For yesterday she was fine, yesterday her heart wasn't aching
She used to seize the day and have its powers for the taking
Her heart's a concrete bunker at least that's what she believes
A place where lovers come and go, but feelings never leave
Forever seventeen, that is what she's dreaming of
Forever seventeen, that is what she's dreaming of
She lies awake between the sheets where lovers used to warm her
The sweetest kisses in the night are so cold they'll only harm her
For when her winning days are over and all her skies turn black
Will her heart be her compass on the journey back?
Forever seventeen, that is what she's dreaming of
Forever seventeen, that is what she's dreaming of
