17 more years Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Just a sound expressing feeling, no words.

[Chorus]
He’s tired of fighting and dealing with legal issues. He feels like all the money spent on lawyers is wasted and wishes they could focus on positive things instead. He wants them to put aside their differences for their child’s sake, especially during birthdays and important moments. He’s still holding love for his ex even though they’re not talking directly and only communicating through letters or formal ways. He’s questioning if she really wants him out of her life and suggests it’s better to get along and cooperate. He emphasizes that they still have a long time ahead, seventeen more years, and it makes sense to work together for the future rather than fight.

[Verse 1]
He reflects on how the love between them is disappearing while the anger and tension are growing, making it hard to handle. He wonders how they can fix the damage that’s been done without involving courts and judges. His main concern is his son, who needs him in his life, and he doesn’t want his child to be confused or caught in the middle. Even though there’s conflict, he can’t bring himself to hate his ex because they share the bond of creating a child together. He doesn’t want revenge or control, only a chance to be part of his child’s life and see him grow. Looking back at old photos, he’s shocked at how close they used to be and saddened by how things fell apart.

[Chorus]
He’s tired of arguing and going through court battles, seeing money wasted on lawyers. He wants to celebrate special moments like birthdays together instead of fighting. He still has feelings for his ex and hopes she knows it. Their communication has become formal and distant, but he believes talking could improve things. He questions if she truly wants him gone and suggests that getting along is better, especially since they have seventeen more years ahead as parents and should try to cooperate for the sake of their child.

[Verse 2]
He admits that he’s hurt by her actions but wishes they could have talked in person instead of letting misunderstandings grow. He’s willing to help financially if needed, showing he still cares about her and their child. He struggles with not being able to see or contact his kid, which causes him emotional pain. He expresses genuine happiness for her life now, as long as she’s treated well, showing maturity and respect. The main problem is lack of communication, which makes every court visit stressful. He feels judged by the system but tries to stay calm. Despite everything, he still respects her as a good mom. He’s overwhelmed by how quickly life changed and hopes a simple call could help them move past the conflict and rebuild a cooperative relationship for their child.

[Chorus]
He’s fed up with the court battles and the waste of money on lawyers. He wants them to focus on positive moments like birthdays instead of fighting. He still has love for his ex, even though they only communicate through letters now. He questions if she really wants him gone and suggests it would be better to get along. He emphasizes that they have seventeen more years ahead and should try to cooperate and maintain a peaceful relationship, especially for the sake of their child’s well-being and happiness.

[Outro]
He’s frustrated because the whole situation doesn’t make sense to him, and he’s struggling to understand why things turned out this way.
