Agreed to most ideas. Add there could be a kind of fast forward of all life that some people report having during near death experience. So it suggests the girl is seventeen (seconds make years) Also it emphasises the young age of the person being in a doom. Like a typical teenage doom. Plus life is short, i myself think i am "42 seconds now"...Great song!
