I'm Not Seventeen Lyrics
hey cheekbones and eyes
I've been gone three weeks
now I'm a mess
my stomach's on strike
and its been three weeks
since my last breath
well I don't know why I'm here
cause I'm not in need of attention
and I'm not seventeen
and I don't believe
in that which I can't see
well I swear
if I make it home with my mind and some skin on my bones
I'll be the first one to throw up
these car keys and this cell phone
so I can't leave or talk to anyone
and this stupid wristwatch
so I'm unaware of the time that I've lost
I'm trying to be that which I'm not
I've been gone three weeks
now I'm a mess
my stomach's on strike
and its been three weeks
since my last breath
cause I'm not in need of attention
and I'm not seventeen
and I don't believe
in that which I can't see
if I make it home with my mind and some skin on my bones
I'll be the first one to throw up
these car keys and this cell phone
so I can't leave or talk to anyone
and this stupid wristwatch
so I'm unaware of the time that I've lost
I'm trying to be that which I'm not

hands down best owen song.
The lyric at the beggining of the first verse is actually:
"I'll be the first one to throw AWAY"
Ugh, the beggining of the last*
i think it's "throw out"
but it's not that important.
Lovely song.
And travisjames is correct. It is "away"
this.song.defines.me.
that is all.
where do i get this? can someone send it to me? dfbuzzbeater on aim :)
yeah seriously, where's this song from?
The Association Of Utopian Hologram Swallowers.
This is such a good song. The feelings are expressed very clearly but I wonder what made him feel like this to write it. Maybe it's about a break up? I could difinitely relate these feelings to how I feel abuot my last break up. Any ideas?
