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 want to turn it up
Jump on your feet, get up and pass go
Yeaaah - now dance when I say so
She likes to dream, I can see it in her eyes,
She's automatic
At 17, only wants what she can't find
She's automatic
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 if you're growing up
Jump on your feet, get up and pass go
Yeaaah - now dance when I say so
She likes to dream, I can see it in her eyes,
She's automatic
At 17, only wants what she can't find,
She's 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 automatic
