The stone thrown at your window
It’s telling you to get up and get up and go
And to climb down the shakers of your house
To the back of my Chevy and no one will ever know
We drive around November with one light out
They try to pull us over go right ahead
We’ll still drive around to find a place to sleep at
And if can’t find one backseats gonna be our bed
Oh Melony I don’t believe when you tell me that your seventeen and proud
Cause it says so loud
It’s not right to hold you through the night
You put up no fight when I put words in your mouth, oh yea
We drive around November with one light out
They try to pull us over go right ahead
We’ll still drive around to find a place to sleep at
And if can’t find one backseats gonna be our bed
She ripped off the grass and threw it on my face
I pushed her over laughing right away
She said the moonlight makes the windows in your eyes
Kiss her inside out with no goodbye bye
I remember waking up in the middle of the night
On the brick shear highway
It’s not right but oh I can’t fight it anymore
Do you remember waking up in the middle of the night
On the brick shear highway
Ohh it’s not right yeah I can’t fight it anymore
I can’t fight
I can’t fight it anymore
Nostalgia and Youthful Rebellion
“Seventeen” by Charlie Puth captures the spirit of young love and the thrill of breaking free from societal constraints. The lyrics paint vivid scenes of sneaking out, late-night drives, and finding a sense of belonging in the company of someone special. The narrative centers on a fleeting romance marked by both excitement and a sense of guilt, as the protagonists navigate their feelings and the consequences of their actions. The mention of driving with one headlight out and using the backseat as a bed evokes the innocence and recklessness of adolescence, making the song relatable to anyone who has experienced the rush of first love and the bittersweet realization of growing up.
