I've seen the tops of the trees grow taller than me
I've seen the table we built grow lichen and weeds
I've seen the sun and the martins come and go
I've seen minds grow
No one here knows what we're all going to do
But in five months time he'll be fighting for you
He's too young to know how to choose but hey
I'm too young to vote, but that'll change too
They say it's nice to celebrate ends
But it can be hard to recognise them
The wind whips up mirrors in my eyes when I see
It's gonna be them not me
I dont know about the force of the moon on the tide
And I know nothing about what holds the earth in the skies
But I dont need to
I'm seventeen
Suddenly we're in our cities
Remembering our days
Our pictures are dancing
Your shoulders are shaking
Like everyone else
