Sixteenth Year

Streamers waving down saying you're vip Wonder what it's like to roam the streets of nyc Hop up off the train and you seem to walk for miles Through the pouring rain make your way without the lights Pen to the paper write the very first lines Start to open up after quite a long time Find some new friends share an unbreakable bond Pieces fall in place you know you willow ways belong Sixteen Chasing after all your dreams They once seemed so far away and now they're barely out of reach It seemed that was everything there'd be But the rest was out of sight and out of mind And my sixteenth year of living was alright Na na na na na na na na na na na That black friday traffic backing up along the highway I know it's getting old but this one's gonna go my way Your mother shakes her head cause she don't wanna let you down Ain't it funny looking back from where you are now Watching out the window waiting for the perfect guy Everyday he seems to go by at the same time Start to stand up tall now everybody knows your name Every step you're rising yeah you're on the road to fame at Sixteen Living out your wildest dreams When you've finally found the people that'll help you and believe Pinch me everyday is a fantasy True colors shine as you step into the light And my sixteenth year of living was alright Na na na na na na na na na na Faced the ups and downs made it to maine and back again Name in lights you got the guy there's no way you can't win Seen it in the movies always though you'd play pretend But perfect's gotta end Sobbing on the shoulders of the people that you love Everything you had torn away all at once Curl up in your bed for what seems like a year Impossible to count the drops of every single tear Now he's the only thing you can count on to go right The one piece you've got and you're holding on tight But somehow silvers linings always seem to fade to gray Can't shake the storm now I don't know what to say cause Sixteen It's ripping at the seams Though the world's turned upside down I can't help feeling like it's me We'll see don't know what the future brings But I'm never going down without a fight And I thank my lucky stars up late each night That my sixteenth year of living taught me right Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Sixteen sixteen sixteen And I seem to walk for miles Through the pouring rain make my way without the lights
