Living in a shadowed dream.
How could this be,
The end of me?
What I wouldn't give,
To have a life to live
A day to plan.
Instead I remain,
Forever 17
Could've lifed off every tree.
I could've been the most anything.

Chorus:
Someone wake me up.
I haven't lived yet.
I'm only 17.
Nothing you forget.
I'm just a baby.
And I don't wanna be,
Forever 17.

I'll never have a bed to make,
A test to take,
A solid day.
I'll always be,
Forever 17.
I could've had a family.
And things I looked at differnetly.
Instead I'll be,
Forever 17.
Could I have just one more day?
A chance to learn from my mistakes.

(Repeat chorus)

In a matter of a moment,
Life fell before my eyes.
Now I'm looking at the reading of the miracle of life.
Where I'll be going with out even know,
The answer deep inside.

Forever 17

So don't give up.
You haven't live yet.
You're only 17.
And God did not forget.
You're just a baby
