I want the daytime to
I want the nighttime to
Stop moving Iâll just lay here by your side
I want the seasons to
Mean something to me and
I want a reason why youâre staring right through me
Oh darling in the hospital you said
Donât want to think about it
I donât want anything to regret
Now here it is your fingers in the cold
Touching on your body where you feel like youâve grown old
And I wait a lifetime in the queue outside the door
Brought a magazine I didnâtât feel like reading anymore
Youâve been up for sixteen hours
Howâre you going to blow seventeen candles out?
Oh darling in your loudest voice you go
Donât want to think about it
I donât want anybody to know
Youâve been up for sixteen hours
Now howâre you going to blow seventeen candles out?
Seventeen candles, seventeen candles
Nothing too much I can think of round here
Cleaned up the yard, got the Christmas card you sent last year
Nothing too heavy just a party at a friendâs home
Schoolâs a kind of drag, Iâm thinking about travelling on
Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen candles
