[Verse 1]

Seventeen, I can't recall a thing

I cry for help, but no one's ever listenin'

My life moved faster than the speed of sound

Wish I could go there now and slow down

[Verse 2]

Ain't it strange, how people tend to change?

I hope she knows that I would never blame her

'Cause all she did was all she knew (Aah)

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, is it too late now to slow down?

[Chorus]

All my life, I've never had the chance

To stop and smell the flowers (Flowers)

All this time, I never got to sit

And dream away the hours

My memories like black and white TV

And everybody says it'll be okay

Like life is just a game

But I don't wanna play

[Verse 3]

Twenty-one, it should've been so fun

Cherry ripe, I wish I had more time

This summer skin, it fades too quick somehow (Aah)

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, is it too late now to slow down?

[Chorus]

All my life, I've never had the chance

To stop and smell the flowers (Flowers)

All this time, I never got to sit

And dream away the hours

My memories like black and white TV

And everybody says it'll be okay

Like life is just a game

But I don't wanna play

[Outro]

Ooh, oh-oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I don't wanna

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I don't wanna
