Veronica & J.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Growin' up, moving faster than ever, wish I could take a break
And I know I'm getting older, Lot of people switching up
Man they breaking all my trust and I've really had enough
Thank God that it's over, I can finally move on
Turned the page another chapter starting, we just kicked it off
And I'm glad I got some real ones I'm surrounded with now
I just hope I can get back to where I was cause I've been feeling so out of it
Everyone around me yeah they just so draining
And I'm just sick and tired of everyone's complaining
But y'all don't hear me
Step off of my plans, Feel like I'm the only one who knows em
Fighting all these battles feel like I'm the one who chose em
But I know I didn't, that's why I keep on moving forward
So much stress inside it's just more than I can afford
I remember when, I remember when
We would never worry, wish it'd be that way again
Things are coming up, so I gotta move fast
But I can't get too hung up on the past
I just wanna live my life
Free from all of this strife
So I'ma keep living my dream
And you ain't gonna take that away from me
Peace out to what It was, I'm moving on to better things
This for every time when y'all tried to get the best of me
I'm seeing what's ahead of me, I ain't got time for nothing else
I'm just hating that I couldn't see beyond the way I felt
My life moving forward and I really feel it now
This a wake up call, I can't just sit and wait around
Cause I know the future bright, I'm putting action to my words
But I can't get too comfortable cause I know there's more to learn now
Yeah, you can see it In my eyes
This life ain't been a ride man you've heard it all before now
I been really passionate about all of my dreams
But I gotta be careful with when I share It through a screen man
I just wanna live my life, not worrying bout anything
I just wanna go out, feelin' good, feelin' free
Chillin' with my homies with my team, you know what I mean
But real talk, this is crazy to think about
I'm seventeen now, gotta get it, gotta go out
And see the things ahead me, go in with no doubt
Cause it's good feel alright, I ain't ever gonna bother
Staying in a place of hate, it's just awful
And I'll wake up tomorrow with the same state of mind
Cause this is my life to live, I'ma live with no regrets
This is my dream and I ain't never gon forget
Staying to my roots, cause I'm knowing that I'm blessed
And I'ma keep on doing me, while I'm dodging all the bullets
Chillin with my team, living life to the fullest
And y'all can't tell me nothing anymore, I know what's in store
Coming up with all my closest friends is what I'm working toward
And I'ma do my own thing, staying in my own lane
You can hate all you want, think you real? but you not
It's funny. Seeing people that I thought were close
Switching up so fast, It ain't a joke man
I'ma leave it in the past, cause it doesn't even matter
Cause I keep on going up, while they only sit and chatter
I'm just doing me and staying true to myself
Feeling better every day and more certain I won't fail
But that ain't all that matters, we just doing what we love
And I don't even care if you feel like it ain't enough
I'ma leave it at that, seventeen with a dream
And I ain't never gonna cap, this is really me
The song Seventeen by Veronica & J.D. is about unrequited love and the struggle to communicate one's feelings to the person they desire. The lyrics describe the frustration and anxiety of riding the bus just to talk to the person, but ultimately being unable to do so. The singer fears losing the person they love to someone else who is better than them and believes there is no way to compete. They desperately cling to the hope of having just one chance to make a connection, despite all the uncomfortable and impossible hoops they have to jump through.
The lyrics reveal a sense of longing and desperation, as if the singer is holding on to a glimmer of hope that they will eventually win the love of the person they desire. The repetition of the lines "You just can't go // 'Cause I'm not through with you yet // And I won't be until we're both dead" emphasizes this sense of clinging to the possibility of being with the person they desire.
Line by Line Meaning
Riding the bus just to talk to you
I am going out of my way to have a conversation with you and I find it worth the trouble
But when I see you
No words will come through
Despite my efforts, I am left speechless when I finally encounter you
I’m just going to lose you to someone new
Better than me
No way to compete
I fear that you will move on to someone else who is superior to me and I am incapable of measuring up to them
You just can’t go
Cause I’m not through with you yet
And I won’t be until we’re both dead
Just one chance to pull through
I am not ready to let you go and I will persist in my attempts to win you over until we die. I have one opportunity to succeed.
Uncomfortable and impossible
Just to talk to you
So many rules to follow through
Hoops to jump through
What matters to you
Just doesn’t seem to come up easy
It is very challenging for me just to speak with you, as there are countless hoops I must jump through and rules I must follow to satisfy your expectations. What is important to you is hard to broach.
Conversation to you means a lot to me too
I value our conversations as much as you do, even if it proves to be uncomfortable for me
