Sixteen Candles

There's sixteen candles on my cake
I guess today you expect me to celebrate
There's sixteen people I wanna hate
If I could find love, well now it's much too late
There's sixteen pies, sixteen lies
Sixteen car keys, I grab one that's mine
Sixteen curse words, sixteen bruises
Sixteen hours that I will lose and

I wanna learn to fly
Wanna touch the sky
And I wanna question why
Kinda wanna cry
At sixteen

There's sixteen rebels just like me
Prim and proper just got chased up a tree
Sixteen celebrities I wanna be
How to people just lose themselves so easily

And I really don't identify
I won't even try
And I feel the need to amplify
The fact that we're all out of time
At sixteen

There's sixteen secrets I've gotta keep
If I told you, you'd think I'm more of a creep
Sometimes you've gotta take the leap
Let's pray to whatever that I land on my feet

And I refuse to testify
I don't need to justify
And I kinda wanna die
But I will turn the tide
At sixteen
