Forever Seventeen

Let's be honest, you're not flawless But you're as close as anything I've seen You're not the woman you envisioned But your life is not a broken time machine No, it's not that bad No, it's really not that bad A little midnight chardonnay Smooth the edges off the day A little taste of maryjane Makes you feel young again All those years around your eyes Always take you by surprise You've been living in a dream Forever 17 A reckless lover, a father figure You search for both in every man you meet You're not a mother and sometimes you wonder If a son or daughter just might make you feel complete But no, you don't need someone else No, it's hard enough to learn to love yourself [Chorus]
