[Verse 1]

You're on the ride, but it’s not like they said it was

You had a plan, but it wasn't quite good enough

You're in the race, but you just feel like giving up

You have a song, now you just wanna turn it up

[Pre-Chorus]

Jump on your feet, get up and pass go

Yeah, now dance when I say so

[Chorus]

She likes to dream, I can see it in her eyes

She’s on automatic

At seventeen, only wants what she can't find

She's on automatic

[Verse 2]

Catching up wasn't quite like they said it was

Finding love isn't fun if it hurts too much

Losing friends 'cause you can't always stay in touch

A broken heart only comes up if you're growing up

[Pre-Chorus]

Jump on your feet, get up and pass go

Yeah, now dance when I say so

[Chorus]

She likes to dream, I can see it in her eyes

She’s on automatic

At seventeen, only wants what she can’t find

She's on automatic

Light it up like a star in the night sky

It’s so dramatic

A pretty girl with a spark that she can't hide

She's on automatic

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

She likes to dream, I can see it in her eyes

She's on automatic

At seventeen, only wants what she can’t find

She's on automatic

Light it up like a star in the night sky

It's so dramatic

A pretty girl with a spark that she can't hide

She's on automatic

[Outro]

(She's on automatic) Automatic

(She's on automatic) Automatic

(She's on automatic) So dramatic

(She's on automatic) Automatic
