16

When I was sixteen
I fell stupid in love
With a boy with bright blue eyes
Who was peaceful as a dove
I fell in love far too fast
But I never told you so it couldn't last
Something tells me you were the one
But I was too young and I was too dumb to realize
The day I met you
And you looked me in the eyes
I felt weak in the knees
I was paralyzed
It's years later and I still remember
Each and every time you held my hand
Sometimes I still wear your sweatshirt to bed
So I can feel a little less alone
There's a picture of us still on my wall
And I don't know why
Cause it makes me cry
I guess I just wanna remember
All the times we spent together
Even though our lives are so different now
You wouldn't like the new me
I'm damaged goods
Somehow I still love you
I don't know if I should
Sometimes I still wear your sweatshirt to bed
So I can pretend that you are there
I'm not holding onto you
But I can still hope
That maybe someday when I come home
You'll be waiting for me
Making us coffee
Wearing the watch I got you
When we were sixteen

I know it's long gone
And you've probably moved on
But is it too late to ask for another chance
To dance in the rain
And say all we have to say
So maybe one day you could love me again
The way you did
When we were sixteen
Too young and too dumb to realize
What it's like when you've found the one
And you're falling in love
For the very first time
I know it's long gone
And you've probably moved on
But can you try to love me
The way you did
When we were sixteen
