Seventeen Roses

[Verse 1]
Seventeen candles
Wax on your hands
Icing on your phone screen
Laugh while it lands
Paper crown crooked
Glitter in your hair
You say
"I just want
Everyone there"
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve been through the late calls
Hallway fights
Small falls
Blood on our knees
From the games we played
But every little heartbreak
Brought us to this day (hey)
[Chorus]
Blood
Sweat
Tears for these seventeen roses
Every thorn shows how far we came
No pain
No gain
Yeah the story exposes
Every scar spelling out your name
Love
Peace
Hope in the way your smile glows
Blowing out flames
Letting old fears go
Blood
Sweat
Tears for these seventeen roses
Happy birthday
Lou
You’re gold
[Verse 2]
Photos on the fridge door
Years stuck in a frame
You rolling your eyes
But you keep them all the same
Handwritten wishes
Blue ink on your sleeve
You say
"Nothing lasts"
But you still believe
[Pre-Chorus]
We had all the slammed doors
Soft "I’m sorry"s on floors
Tear-streaked cheeks
On a Tuesday train
But every shaky promise
Pulled us through the rain (woah)
[Chorus]
Blood
Sweat
Tears for these seventeen roses
Every thorn shows how far we came
No pain
No gain
Yeah the story exposes
Every scar spelling out your name
Love
Peace
Hope in the way your smile glows
Blowing out flames
Letting old fears go
Blood
Sweat
Tears for these seventeen roses
Happy birthday
Lou
You’re gold
[Bridge]
Count them slow
One by one
Each soft petal
A small sun
If you forget
How strong you grew
Look at these roses
They look like you (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Blood
Sweat
Tears for these seventeen roses
Every thorn shows how far we came
No pain
No gain
Yeah the story exposes
Every scar spelling out your name
Love
Peace
Hope in the way your smile glows
Blowing out flames
Letting old fears go
Blood
Sweat
Tears for these seventeen roses
Happy birthday
Lou
You’re gold (you’re gold)

pop, Bright K-pop-inspired pop with upbeat drums, shiny synths, and a bouncing bassline. Male vocals with stacked gang shouts on the hook, brief rap-inflected pre-chorus, and a wide, anthemic chorus. Glittery bell arps and claps in the verses; final chorus lifts with key change, extra harmonies, and a playful ad-lib outro.
