Sixteen

I'm sleeping next to my telephone Cause if you call me I wanna talk to you in my dreams I'm stepping out of my comfort zone Cause I know life won't Always be this easy Been blowing bubbles now for hours But they all pop Before they get to you I know you won't climb down from your tower I hope it won't be long Before you get sick of the view Cause I care more than I'm letting on And I hope that you do too Cause we were both sixteen She was a couple months behind me I wanted to take her driving To see what the world knew When we were both sixteen The leaves had just started falling We knew that the grass wasn't always green Better than most do I'm thinking of the things we could've been I'm sure by now That you've found someone new I'm trying not to take it personally I bet my life He doesn't care what you've been through Cause I care more than I'm letting on And I hope that you do too Cause we were both sixteen She was a couple months behind me I wanted to take her driving To see what the world knew When we were both sixteen The leaves had just started falling We knew that the grass wasn't always green Better than most do I promised you that I'd never lie But I wish I'd never said that you were right Then maybe I could've said goodbye Cause I can't stand not knowing why Cause we were both sixteen She was a couple months behind me I wanted to take her driving To see what the world knew When we were both sixteen The leaves had just started falling We knew that the grass wasn't always green Better than most do Hey!
