Sixteen Lyrics

You found your faith in studded keys

The black, the white, the gray

Wait with fingers crossed

Will it be your next big break

Walk on the fine line between Imo or yourself

Oversharing anecdotes of your overarching health

No measures wrote by you

A letter from the garden

And I'm here now standing tall

Just cry, you're only human

I stole her harsh hand's pen

A gift to me on stage

Here is a rose from a girl who knows

Eventually the scene will change

You're almost sixteen

Almost driving

Don't steer away from who you are

Life is more than just surviving

Keep your wheels turning

Make it worthwhile

Learn to be content in waiting

There is no formula to smile

When you're younger

You think you'll be flawless

Deadline to figure it all out

Answer a lifelong project

It's just a number

A month before summer

May my goals stay unachievable

Perfection is unreachable

And it's not sixteen

Reimagine chord progressions

The fourth and the fifth

Go back to music lessons

Rewrite an old song about Griff

Suddenly in the backseat

Think you can blink and then you're sixteen

You said life would pass me by

It would take me by surprise

No measures wrote by you

A letter from the garden

And I'm here now standing tall

Just cry, you're only human

I stole her harsh hands pen

A gift to me on stage

Here is a rose from a girl who knows

Eventually the scene will change

In the rearview mirror

Escape the middle school horrors

Made it out as more than just alive

Enjoy the parkway on my drive

Going ten over the limit

Look at the big views

Not the summits

Behind you is the first track

Three neighbors gone

Don't watch your back

Unfinished songs taken from the attic

Make them overly dramatic

Include my little easter eggs

Get lyrics stuck into their head

Stupid metaphors about cars

Improve points with my guitar

Just to say that I'm my main opponent

Just live in the moment

When you're sixteen

You're out here driving

You're bound to make a few mistakes

Life is full of bad timing

After sixteen

Keep on riding

Not for fame or for success

You can take a breath while climbing

When you're younger

You think you'll be flawless

It's time to take your early bow

You have the room to be impulsive

It's just a number

A month before summer

May my goals stay unachievable

Perfection isn't reachable

And it's not sixteen

When you're sixteen

This is sixteen

Move past sixteen
