Mia Humphrey - Summer 17 Lyrics

Summertime used to make me happy
We'd run wild until we fell asleep
Wait for rain to fall and then dance in the street
In April I'd start counting the days
We'd plan out weeks just to make it through May
And pick out rooftops to act like we're coming of age
And in a few months we'll all be 18
Grown up and voting but still worrying about the SAT

It's the summer of our 17th and I'm inside and I'm trying
To pretend it's fine that I can't see my friends
From closer than 6 feet and
I just want to live the dream in all the songs and movie scenes
Where you fall in love and get so lost
In the summer of your 17

Now summertime has me feeling sad
Too much time to think of what I've had
I wish on stars that I can't see
I just believe that we'll go back
We spend our time out in the sun
It sounds normal yeah it sounds fun
But when we're done
We get in our cars and drive away one by one
And in a few months we'll all be 18
Grown up and voting but still worrying about the ACT

It's the summer of our 17th and I'm inside and I'm trying
To pretend it's fine that I can't see my friends
From closer than 6 feet and
I just want to live the dream in all the songs and movie scenes
Where you fall in love and get so lost
In the summer of your 17

And I want to do the right thing
But I want to run wild til I fall asleep
I wanna wake up from this bad dream
And just be 17
Just be 17

It's the summer of our 17th
I'm inside and I'm trying to pretend it's fine
I'm trying
I just wanna be happy
I wanna hug my friends dance in the street
Fall in love and get so lost
Because I am just 17
We're just 17
I'm just 17
