grettaray.lnk.to/FollowID Lyrics:
Dear seventeen, youâre turning twenty four on Sunday
Youâre readily rejecting aging on this one day
Dear seventeen, you live at home still over half a decade later
Donât get scared, just be prepared
Hereâs some advice to savour
Dear seventeen, realityâs you don't make money
Itâs never been enough to make you wanna throw in the towel, honey
But after you break onto the scene
You play arenas as an opener
You tour the states with famous mates of yours
Go broke, but itâs the job you held out hope for
Iâm just stating the facts
Sweet brunette dream, miss seventeen
I could resent you, but I wonât
It donât take much to say with love
âScrew you and that good song you wroteâ
Up on cloud nine, the weatherâs fine I know
Believe me I recall
Dear seventeen, donât change a thing
When you donât know a thing at all
Dear seventeen, youâll date a man twelve years your senior
Youâre yet to meet, but in a yearâs time
Though you should steer clear
Youâll think youâre well equipped
So he gives you the world then makes it shatter
Heâll wear you out
Youâll slim right down
Back to the size you were before he said that mattered
Yeah, Iâll leave it at that
âCause sweet brunette dream, miss seventeen
I could keep venting, but I wonât
It donât take much to say with love
âScrew you and that good song you wroteâ
Up on cloud nine, the weatherâs fine
Until someone makes you feel small
Dear seventeen, donât change a thing
He doesnât know a thing at all
Dear seventeen, we made the album and it did pretty well
And you best believe the writerâs block subsides
There are too many tales to tell
You see the world, you make this last
You share your craft with new creators
Your best friends stick around, your sisterâs proud
And have no doubt youâre still obsessed with Taylor
Baby, I got your back
Sweet brunette dream, miss seventeen
I could resent you but Iâll never
It donât take much to say with love
âThat song was good, but youâll write betterâ
Up on cloud nine, the weatherâs fine I know
But there is so much more
Dear seventeen, donât change a thing
When you donât look before you fall
Dear seventeen, donât change a thing
When you donât know a thing at all
