"Sixteen" lyrics

"Sixteen"

Well, so far we had some
But it doesn't work for everyone
But I'm thinking this could be the one
If we put our minds to it
And I came 'round today
And you thought I had so much to say
And I know you hate seeing me this way
But I'm having fun

You realise, you realise
It's real life, it's real life
You realise, you realise
It's real life, it's real life
You realise, you realise
It's real life, it's real life
You realise, you realise
It's real life, it's real life

Trying to prove you're alright
And losing track of the time
Even with the summer passing by

I'm bringing it down into focus
I try to bring it down, but I'm hopeless
And we should write this down, so we can remember it
And yes there was a time when we were
Two of a kind, but now I can't even remember why

You realise, you realise
It's real life, it's real life
You realise, you realise
It's real life, it's real life

Trying to prove you're alright
And losing track of the time
Sixteen hits on the side
And don't waste any time inside
Even with the summer passing by

I won't burn when it's not
My turn, and I just
Can't learn anymore
I won't burn when it's not
My turn, and I just
Can't learn anymore
