Krista Siegfrids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was seventeen,
We treated every moment like it was the last
My boyfriend was nineteen,
I am looking at a Picture thinkg of the past

Every song was the best song ever, every kiss could last forever
Every Friday night was stunning, every heart went wild drumming
No worries in the world could stop us, we where Always gonna be on top cause
We could be what we wanted to be

Look at me, living for the day like a dancing queen
Young and free, there's something in the air when you're seventeen
There's something the air when your'e seventeen

What's on the radio?
Isn't there a song we always to play
It was so long ago
But still I got the feeling it was yesterday

Every break-up supertragic, next night so cool on magic
We could do what we wanted to do, yeah

Look at me, living for the day like a dancing queen
Young and free, there's something in the air when you're seventeen
Look at me, living for the day like a dancing queen
Young and free, there's something in the air when you're secenteen
There's something the air when your'e seventeen

Ha ha ha ha, incredible
Ha ha ha ha, so unforgettable
Ha ha ha ha, I'm feeling like....
It's something in the air

No worries in the world could stop us, we where always gonna be on top cause
We could be what we wanted to be

Yeah
Look at me, living for the day like a dancing queen
Young and free, there's something in the air when you're seventeen
Look at me, living for the day like a dancing queen




Young and free, there's something in the air when you're secenteen
There's something the air when your'e seventeen
