Seventeen
Riverdale Cast Lyrics

Fine, we're damaged, really damaged
We're not perfect and we've been through a lot of pain

But that does not make us wise
Our experiences don't necessarily make us smarter or more mature

We're not special, we're not different
We're just like everyone else and we don't think we're better than anyone

We don't choose who lives or dies
Life happens and we don't have control over everything

Let's be normal, see bad movies
Let's do things that are simple and not too complicated or expensive

Sneak a beer and watch TV
Let's do things that are a bit rebellious and against the rules

We'll bake brownies or go bowling
Let's do fun activities and enjoy each other's company

Don't you want a life with me?
Do you want to spend your life with me and do these things with me?

Can't we be seventeen?
Can't we go back to a time when life was simpler and we didn't have so many responsibilities?

That's all I want to do
I just want to enjoy life and not have to worry about adult things

If you could let me in
If you could let down your guard and be vulnerable with me

I could be good with you
I could be a good partner and make you happy

(People hurt us)
We've been hurt by others in the past

Or they vanish
Or they just disappear from our lives

(And you're right, that really blows)
(And you're right, it really sucks)

But we let go
But we have to move on and not let it keep us down

(Take a deep breath)
(Take a moment to calm down)

Then go buy some summer clothes
And do something to cheer ourselves up and move forward

(We'll go camping)
(We'll do something fun and outdoorsy)

Play some poker
Have some fun and maybe win some money

(And we'll eat some chili fries)
(And we'll enjoy some delicious junk food)

Maybe prom night, maybe dancing
Maybe we'll do something romantic and special, like prom or dancing

Don't stop looking in my eyes (your eyes)
Don't look away from me, let's stay connected

Is that so hard to do?
Is it too much to ask to go back to simpler times?

Let us be seventeen
Let's forget about our problems and just have fun for a while

If we still got the right
If we still have permission to be carefree and live in the moment

So what's it gonna be?
Are you going to choose to be with me and have fun?

I wanna be with you
I want to spend time with you and enjoy life

(I wanna be with you)
(I really want to be with you)

Wanna be with you tonight
I want to spend tonight with you and just have fun

But your love's too good to lose
I don't want to lose your love and companionship

Hold me tighter, even closer
Let's get even closer and enjoy each other's company

(I'll stay if I'm what you choose)
(I'll stay with you if you choose me)

Cause you're the one I choose
I choose to be with you and have fun together

(You're the one I choose)
(I really want to be with you)
