Sixteen Of Me Lyrics

I was blowing out the candles

At the time it was sweet

I was dreaming bout the future

And all that I could be

I had one foot out the door

Always ready to leave

When I look back I wish I had fonder memories

I didn't know anything at sixteen

Life is so much more than the fortune and fame

When I die the Lord's the only one that needs to know my name

Who I am and who I used to be are both dreamers but just dreaming differently

Back then I just wanted to sing

That was so sixteen of me

A white picket fence house where my best friend lives down the street

Three kids and a dog don't sound so bad to me

Is it settling down if I have everything I need?

Growing up and getting older is one big balance beam

Of a twenty year olds wants and needs

Life is so much more than the fortune and fame

When I die the Lord's the only one that needs to know my name

Who I am and who I used to be are both dreamers but just dreaming differently

Back then I just wanted to sing

That was so sixteen of me

Sixteen had the fire

Twenty has the heart

May they meet in the middle

And not grow apart
