Some people just take SO MUCH for granted - it's not even FUNNY! They don't even UNDERSTAND how GOOD their life is....until something awful makes it shorten - like cancer or something like that. Be thankful for EVERYTHING you have, folks. Jesus Christ makes life RICHER!
My best friend committed suicide when he was 17 and I will never forget him. What really hits me when I listen to this is he was pronounced dead on the 17th..
I hate to say this, but I'm pretty sure this is about having a baby at seventeen. "The miracle of life"? It could be about death and all that...this is just my take on it.
@ThexLadyxSara Nope! One of the girls (the one in the middle) who wrote the song, wrote it for a friend she had who was killed by a drunk driver at the age of 17.
i got sick when i was 14. i'm now 17 and i had to quit going to school and doing everything i loved. i was supposed to graduate with my friends, i was supposed to have to only worry about who was going to take me to prom, i was supposed to get my first job. this song reminds me of me because sometimes it feels like i'm already dead. everyone at school has forgotten about me and they dont talk to me anymore. but if i hadnt gotten sick, i never would have gotten to know God.
this song always makes me a bit sad. I think there's a time to mourn but at the end we all need to remeber that our loss reminds us of the importance of our lives. We gotta live every moment as if we were in our last day. R.I.P to all young folks .
this song isn't just for the fictional characters.
becca was 20. she picked up delena, 18, and they were headed to the movies. and she hit a wet spot on the road. that was all it took.
the car spun in front of a pick up. they died instantly.
these kids had a future, a potential. becca was engaged to be married. they were barely graduated. their lives were barely starting and then they ended.
Neil Morgan. Whitney Newmagn. God, I miss them like crazy. They both died at 17...three days apart... I love ya'll so freaking much. It's been so hard
i read this song as someone who finds out their life if gonna be cut short. maybe from cancer or such. so their saying, they will always be 17. and thats when they will end their life. it says" did you forget im just a baby" saying its unfair to be so close to the end being so young and not living your life fully yet.
One of my friends just passed away he was driveng a speeding car and then he swerved and hit a treethen the car caught on fire and he couldn't get out he told his freinds to go that it would be okay. He was only a sophmore he was 15.His name is Nick White, he was nice.
all these comparisons to fictional characters is ruining the point of the song. This song is about a real person who actually tragically died. Not some dude from Degrassi, character from Twighlight or character off Kingdom Hearts or some other senseless anime/cartoon. This is a seriously sad song. Don't disprespect :/
Oh wow. I knew this song since it came out, but I haven't listened to it in a while... I don't think I would have made that connection if you hadn't said it, but WHOA! It's totally her, isn't it? Haha.
