Only 16 Once

Clear skies, wild eyes
Hanging out on picnic blankets in the fall
We wave goodbyes
As our moms pick us up one by one from the mall

Our childhood is ending
Like we dreamed it would mhm
Now that is almost over it didn't last
Nearly as long as it should
But...

We still got time
There are plenty of mountains yet to climb
And I don't think we're finished
So lets, dye our hair
And do something that makes us scared
Just to say we did it
Cause you're only 16 once
Mmmm mmm mmm

Long nights pillow fights
Sleeping in till noon
Gather tight under the lights
Just so we can see the moon

Our childhood is ending
Like we dreamed it would mmhm
Now that is almost over
It didn't last nearly as long as it should
But...

We still got time
There are plenty of mountains yet to climb
And I don't think we're finished
So lets, dye our hair
And do something that makes us scared
Just to say we did it
Cause you're only 16 once
Mmmm mmm mmm

But you'll thank me, when were 83
And we don't remember much
We can look back, on the photographs
Even if were not in touch
And even then...

We'll still have time
There will still be mountains we haven't climbed
Though were almost finished
With our dyed hair and nothing left to make us scared
Cause we did it
