Seventeen Soon

[Verse 1]
Sixteen candles, almost gone
Counting days, I’m holding on
Looking back at who I was
Wondering who I’ll become

Late night dreams and whispered fears
Growing up through all these years
Caught between the past and now
Trying just to figure out how

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the change inside my soul
Like I’m losing, gaining control

[Chorus]
I’m almost seventeen, can you see?
Standing on the edge of me
Half a girl, half something new
Learning what I’m meant to do

I’m almost seventeen tonight
Chasing dreams and city lights
Everything is changing soon
I’m not there yet… but I’m close to you

[Verse 2]
Mirror shows a different face
Time I never can replace
Laughing loud, then overthinking
Growing faster than I’m blinking

Friends and memories intertwined
Leaving little pieces behind
Every step feels so unknown
But I’m learning on my own

[Pre-Chorus]
Every fear and every spark
Lighting up inside the dark

[Chorus]
I’m almost seventeen, can you see?
Standing on the edge of me
Half a girl, half something new
Learning what I’m meant to do

I’m almost seventeen tonight
Chasing dreams and city lights
Everything is changing soon
I’m not there yet… but I’m close to you

[Verse 3]
June is calling out my name
Nothing ever stays the same
Sixteen slowly fades away
Seventeen is on its way

I don’t have it figured out
Still full of dreams and little doubts
But maybe that’s just how it goes
Growing into what I’ll know

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not ready, but I’ll try
To spread my wings and learn to fly

[Chorus]
I’m almost seventeen, can you see?
Standing on the edge of me
Half a girl, half something new
Learning what I’m meant to do

I’m almost seventeen tonight
Chasing dreams and city lights
Everything is changing soon
I’m not there yet… but I’m close to you
