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
Jump on your feet, get up and pass go
Yeah, now dance when I say so
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
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
Jump on your feet, get up and pass go
Yeah, now dance when I say so
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
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
(She's on automatic) Automatic
(She's on automatic) Automatic
(She's on automatic) So dramatic
(She's on automatic) Automatic
