Lyrics

My friend Martha works at the bar down the street
And I don't like her like that, I just think she's pretty
She'd been crying all night, talking 'bout a boy
Well I said, "Martha, it's not some kind of contest
That says in the end if you love someone the most
You get to keep 'em"
And she said, "Maybe it should be"
So go on, run your fingers through me
Like I am barely tangled hair
Pull just a little, I swear
I'll be better for the wear
Cup your hand like you're holding something precious
And I am
But I don't wanna let you go
And I don't know why
I don't know why
And I don't wanna let you know
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
Oh, but then again
There's always reasons for letting go
You're just caught in a season with nothing to show
Well that's alright, love
It's only life
Wrestling everything you've been
Like you're sixteen again
Like you're sixteen
It's a brave new world for my little generation
I'm just afraid we might die from a case of low expectations
It ain't so much we don't wanna be happy
It's just everyone's so scared of being sad
And now Martha, she likes girls now
So we got that in common
She said, "If they wanna love me, man
I ain't gonna try to stop 'em"
Careful, girl
Well you know love is love
It can hurt all the same
It hurts all the same
But I don't wanna let you go
And I don't know why
I don't know why
And I don't wanna let you know why
I still don't know why
I don't know why
I do not know why
Oh, but then again
There's always reasons for letting go
You're just caught in a season with nothing to show
Well that's alright, love
It's only life
Wrestling everything you've been
Like you're sixteen again
Like you're sixteen
Like you're sixteen
You're sixteen again
Like you're sixteen
