lyrics

Hanging in the caf listening to really cool tunes
Looking for the Summer as May turns into June
No hag, you're a senior and you rule the school

Don't wait for the weekend, there's a party tonight
Don't need no big specialized engraved invite
Got a two-spot in your pocket and you're feeling alright

Never have to worry 'bout what's happening next week
Never have to fill out no god-damned time sheet

CHORUS
Coz when you're 17, you never say never
When you're 17, you're gonna live forever
When you're 17, it's a... cool world

Breaking all the rules, you got a really hot date
Your parents better sleep tight coz you're coming home late
Nervous and shaky coz you know that sex is never safe

Cruisin' round, you're sitting in the driver's seat
Sneaking into clubs with manufactured ID
Dressing down exactly the way you want to be

Never have to worry about watching that waistline
Never stop to think about cancerous sunshine

It's not all that easy, that much is true
But the fun's all there, it's up to you
You gotta grab it while you can coz life is gonna hit you pretty damn fast

When you're 17, the world is yours
It's right outside your front door
You gotta break it down and break on out
Grab those moments, make 'em last
