17 Genevieve Stokes

[Verse 1]
I was only seventeen, dreamt of being on a silver screen
I was only seventeen when I met you
Living in the haze made by loved ones who had raised me
I knew what I had to be, but I wasn't there yet

[Chorus]
But when I fall asleep, I fall back home
And when I close my eyes
I find that there's more to life than I've known
And when I am a stranger in my own bed
I know that there's more to this life then

[Verse 2]
Thought you were thе only one who knew me
I was a strangеr in my own heart
And when you left, I thought I never would recover
The mask that I hid under fell apart

[Verse 3]
But growing up isn't growing hard
It's realizing that we're part of stars
So much love and so much that I've yet to see
But I'm not who I thought I'd be at seventeen

[Chorus]
But when I fall asleep, I fall back home
And when I close my eyes
I find that there's more to life than I've known
And when I am a stranger in my own bed
I know that there's more to this life then
