Lyrics:

I know what you wanna say
I think that you`re all the same
Constantly being led astrayHe`s thinking of something you don`t

Downtown harks back
Halfway up the street
I used to be free
I used to be seventeen
Follow my shadow
Around your corner
I used to be seventeen
Now you`re just like me

Down beneath the ashes and the stone
Sure of what I`ve lived and have known
I see you so uncomfortably alone
I wish I could show you how much you`ve grown

Downtown harks back
I used to be on this street
I used to be seventeen
I used to be seventeen
Now you`re half shy
Hanging on my block
Sun coming up
Who`s my shadow?

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

I know what you`re gonna be
I know that you`re gonna be
You`re crumbling up just to see
Afraid that you`ll be just like me

Downtown harks back
Halfway through this life
I used to feel free
Was it just a dream?
Now you`re half shy
Think you`re so carefree
But you`re just seventeen
So much like me
You`re just seventeen
You`re just seventeen
Seventeen
