17, please stop rushing me!

You think I should grow up,

and you're making me do it too fast.

Feels like I'm still 13,

now the clock's ticking

and I can almost see 18.

Oh, 17... let me make you a tea!

Put the binder and to-do list away,

let's relax and seize the day!

Carpe diem, have you heard of it?

There's no need to think about

the future

or of boys who don't ever call.

Let's just stay here,

and drink a cup of English Breakfast tea,

crack a joke

and let go

of pressure.
