sixteen//

asking me questions i don’t understand/
really wanna know then you hold my hand/
am i just crazy or did i go insane/
it’s just a feeling that i can’t contain/
as we stood there in the rain talking bout all of the pain we bear/
the air was cold and the night was getting old/
but you stayed and let me hold you there/
how did things come so easily/
when i was fifteen//

on top of the city with my homecoming queen/
still i’m not sure what we’re gonna be/
wanting forever as you’re driving me home/
new year’s day but then i’m so alone/
i was waiting by the phone wondering what’s going on with you/
you’re alright gonna take me out tonight/
and we’ll dance beneath the light of the moon/
how did things come so easily/
when i was sixteen//

millions of people feel just like we do/
still there’s something special about me and you/
watching you go now i remember the time/
we could walk on water i was by your side/
we were waiting for the tide as you took me on a ride to see/
the sky on fire as we lay there for a while/
and i turned and saw you smile at me/
how did things come so easily/
when i was seventeen//

we were sixteen//
