lyrics

Hey don’t worry about the little things in your life
There’s more to think about than whose party you’re going to on Friday night
And I know you thought about it twice
But we both know sleeping in feels better than throwing up their bad beer and wine
Hey you don’t need those people who put you down all the time
I don’t care if you’re friends, if they treat you bad then they’re no friends of mine
And I want you to know, there’s nothing wrong with staying in sometimes
It’s okay to be alone, if you’re sad it’s okay to cry

So stay seventeen and stop making yourself sick about those stupid things
It’s okay to scream, shout it out, let go of the bad things
You don’t have to grow up so fast and fall in line with all the rest
You can change, you can break and you can make anything
So stay seventeen

Hey don’t worry about all those dates yeah I mean it this time
Hardly anyone is ready for a thing; you can always change your mind
Because people change so fast and you’ll see that pretty soon
It’s easier to change the note than it is to change the tune
Hey it’s okay to be unsure about what you want to do in life
Go to college for seven years if that’s what it takes to get it right
Don’t get stressed over life ‘cause we both know
That’s too much pain, too many tears and migraines yeah save it for the rainy days

So stay seventeen and stop making yourself sick about those stupid things
It’s okay to scream, shout it out, let go of the bad things
You don’t have to grow up so fast and fall in line with all the rest
You can change, you can break and you can make anything
So stay seventeen

Hey don’t worry about the little things in your life
Because I promise you, everything will be alright
