Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like we were seventeen again
Happiest I've ever been
It's so pathetic that you left
You were my everything
Why did your parents have to fight?
Meet me on seventh street
The only girl that I have ever liked
Meet me on seventh street (seventh street)
Just like we were seventeen again (seventeen again)
Happiest I've ever been (ever been)
Standing beside you on the deck
All of these college parties with stupid people
Only makes me sad
Times like these (like these)
Makes me want the times we used to have
Makes me want the times we used to have
I miss all those times
Tomorrow two years ago I still remember
And the day that your picture changed from us together
My mother said to never lead a heart astray (lead astray)
The last time that we said I love you was the day you moved away
(I love you)
I'm back on seventh street
Underneath streetlights where we would kiss
Who thought that hearts could break?
I never knew this as a kid
I'd give you anything
Why did your parents split apart?
Meet me on seventh street
The only place where I could reach the stars
Meet me on seventh street (seventh street)
Just like we were seventeen again (seventeen again)
Happiest I've ever been (ever been)
Standing beside you on the deck
All of these college parties with stupid people
Only makes me sad
Times like these (like these)
Makes me want the times we used to have
Run away
Every day I hate without you
The drive is long, but I hope to see you soon
I'm still in love even though you've got new friends
One day we'll be on seventh street falling in love again
Powfu's song "17again" is a poignant and evocative reflection on lost love and the bittersweet longing for simpler times. The singer of the song yearns for the past, when he and his former love were young and carefree, and the future seemed full of possibility. The title "17again" encapsulates this wistful desire to return to a time when everything seemed easier, and the world was more hopeful.
The use of the phrase "meet me on seventh street" serves as a poignant reminder of how certain places and experiences can hold deep emotional significance. For the singer, seventh street is more than just a physical location, it is a symbol of the past and the lost-love that he so desperately craves. The reference to "college parties with stupid people" highlights the sense of disillusionment and ennui that the singer feels, as he struggles to come to terms with the reality of life as an adult. Despite the heartache caused by the breakup, the singer is still in love with his ex even though she has moved on with her life.

Meet me on seventh street
Just like we were 17 again
Happiest I’ve ever been
It’s so pathetic that you left
You were my everything
Why did your parents have to fight?
Meet me on seventh street
The only girl that I have ever liked
Meet me on seventh street
Just like we were 17 again
Happiest I’ve ever been
Standing beside you on the deck
All of these college parties with stupid people only makes me sad
Times like these makes me want the times we used to have
Makes me want the times we used to have
I miss all those times
Tomorrow two years ago I still remember
And the day that your picture changed from ours together
