Lyrics
[Intro — soft guitar, warm piano]
[LIA]
Dear seventeen
I found your picture today
You were smiling at the camera
Trying so hard to look brave
You thought you had to be perfect
Before somebody could stay
I wish that I could reach you
And take that fear away
[Verse 1]
[VANI]
You kept asking where you're going
Like you had to know by now
Watching everybody moving
Thinking you were falling behind
急がなくていい
There's no finish line
Some of the roads you're scared to take
Will become your favorite ones
[MOMO]
You spent seventeen
Wishing you were twenty-one
Counting down the years
Like growing up would be more fun
Girl, you had no idea
How fast those years would run
I'd give anything to tell you
Don't rush what just begun
[Pre-Chorus]
[AKARI]
Some friends won't stay
Some dreams will change
[LIA]
Some nights will hurt
Then hurt less someday
[VANI]
You don't have to know
Who you'll become
[ALL]
You're already enough
[Chorus]
[ALL]
Dear seventeen
Don't grow so fast
You're gonna miss
The things you wanna leave in the past
The bedroom walls
The midnight calls
The dreams you haven't lived at all
Dear seventeen
Breathe it all in
You don't need tomorrow
To finally begin
You're not behind
You're not too late
そのままでいい
You don't have to change
Dear seventeen
If only you could see
You're already becoming
Who you're meant to be
[Verse 2]
[AKARI]
I know you learned
To hide what hurt
Act like nothing
Ever got beneath your shirt
But being strong
Doesn't mean you never cry
You'll learn there's more courage
In saying you're not alright
[LIA]
That heart they broke?
It beats again
[VANI]
That door that closed?
You'll find another way
[MOMO]
And half the things
Keeping you awake
Won't even matter someday
[Bridge — four voices gradually joining]
[AKARI]
もし戻れるなら
I'd tell you, stay awhile
[VANI]
Keep dancing in your bedroom
Keep that crooked little smile
[MOMO]
Take more stupid pictures
Laugh until you cry
[LIA]
Stop trying to grow older
You'll get there in time
[ALL]
急がなくていい
そのままでいい
We know you can't hear us
But we're proud you survived
[Final Chorus — strings bloom]
[ALL]
Dear seventeen
Don't grow so fast
One day you'll wish
You could hold these moments back
The bedroom walls
The midnight calls
Even the days you thought were small
Dear seventeen
Breathe it all in
You don't need tomorrow
To finally begin
You'll lose
You'll love
You'll change
You'll dream
And life won't look
Like what you thought it'd be
Dear seventeen
If only you could see
You weren't waiting to become us
You were already me
[Outro — piano and four-part harmony]
[ALL]
Dear seventeen
Take your time
There's so much life
On the other side
