Take your pick of my limbs, I was
Choking fire from the kids, I am
Overwhelmed with emotion, I will
Give my blood locomotion

Empty chair in the classroom, I was
Bleeding out in the bathroom, do you
See me just as a figure, will you
Show your friends all the pictures

Seventeen going on forever
She was seventeen going on forever

Lost my will and religion
God I was but a virgin
We are wheat for the threshing
Words and death coalescing

Seventeen going on forever
She was seventeen going on forever
Only seventeen going on forever
She was seventeen going on forever
