[Verse 1] Hey there, logging in again tonight Polite little smile, acting innocent, right? But behind the screen I’m cool and composed Age talk? Haha… that topic’s closed Profiles are decorations anyway Truth gets filtered every single day “If I’m seventeen,” I softly say Then everybody freezes for a sec, okay? [Pre-Chorus] Hey, don’t look too close Don’t count with your fingers now Complicated grown-up things Are forbidden somehow Look at me Get confused Sweet little grin You’re trapped, you lose [Chorus] “I’m seventeen,” that’s what I say “I’m seventeen,” don’t look away Even if you know it’s fake You still love the game we play “I’m seventeen,” that’s what I say “I’m seventeen,” every day That awkward look upon your face Is my favorite thing, okay? [Verse 2] Figures lined up all across my room I know every trend from way back too But when I act like “just a kid” The whole chat starts losing it Tiny tease with a hidden blush Acting cold but talking too much If you call me “big sis” once I’ll puff my cheeks and throw a punch [Pre-Chorus] Hey, don’t stop just yet Keep me waiting like that The tail of my secret Stays out of your grasp Look at me Make me melt Say my name Don’t ask for help [Chorus] “I’m seventeen,” that’s what I say “I’m seventeen,” don’t look away Even if you know it’s fake You still love the game we play “I’m seventeen,” that’s what I say “I’m seventeen,” every day That awkward look upon your face Is my favorite thing, okay? [Bridge] Late-night posting Voice a little more sincere Swallowing the real number Before it can appear Selfish like a little child Pretending I’m so strong But somewhere underneath it all I just want you along [Final Chorus] “I’m seventeen,” that’s what I say “I’m seventeen,” don’t fade away Even if you know the truth Please keep looking at me the same “I’m seventeen,” that’s what I say “I’m seventeen,” every day Please find the version of myself That never learned to change “I’m seventeen,” that’s what I say “I’m seventeen,” anyway That awkward look upon your face Still makes me wanna stay
