[Verse 1]
Mom’s old Honda
Stuffed with clothes and friends
Gas light blinking
We don’t know how this ends
Sharpie names on
Every passing sign
If this is crashing
Let me steer this time
[Pre-Chorus]
They say “slow down”
They say “grow up”
I say “right now
Is just messed up”
If this is wrong
Then let it sting
I’m done rehearsing
I want the real thing (yeah)
[Chorus]
So burn it all at seventeen
Every rule, every dead routine
Set the fear on fire, watch it scream
We were never built for quiet dreams
If the world won’t let us in
Kick the door and start again
Burn it all at seventeen
’Til there’s nothing left but me
[Verse 2]
Phone on silent
Blowing up with “where you at”
Grade book tanking
But I’m fine with that
Black ink lyrics
On my forearm skin
If this is ruined
Let the ruin win
[Pre-Chorus]
They say “be safe”
They say “be nice”
I’ve played it straight
I’ve paid that price
If this is wrong
Then let it stay
I’d rather fail loud
Than fade away (hey)
[Chorus]
So burn it all at seventeen
Every rule, every dead routine
Set the fear on fire, watch it scream
We were never built for quiet dreams
If the world won’t let us in
Kick the door and start again
Burn it all at seventeen
’Til there’s nothing left but me
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to sparse beat, vocal upfront]
Hands up
If you’re tired of the warning signs
Hands up
If you’re done asking for a life
Hands up
If you’d rather crash than hide
We’re alive
We’re alive (oh)
[Chorus]
So burn it all at seventeen
Every rule, every dead routine
Set the fear on fire, watch it scream
We were never built for quiet dreams
If the world won’t let us in
Kick the door and start again
Burn it all at seventeen
’Til there’s nothing left but me
[Outro]
Burn it all
Yeah, burn with me
Wrong or right
At least we’re free
