Night Winds & Nicholas Roberts - Sixteen Lyrics

I remember
When we would joke around for hours
Sharing homework in the hallways
Now it's just deadlines and bills

And I remember
When we'd pretend the world was our's
Hit the arcade on a friday
With a $20 bill

And I sent you all those messages
My phone under the desk
Like
Meet me by the bleachers
And we'll skip out on that test

I handed you that mixtape
Full of old relient k
And i thought that maybe you'd be my escape

Growing older
Isn't what i thought it'd be
Oh the life i live at 26
Is nothing like 16
And i'm holding on to home
But there's so much left to see

Yeah 26
Ain't nothing like 16
There's nothing like 16

Went to visit
This whole town is looking different
But when you only come for Christmas
That's how it's gonna be

Found my old yearbook
Full of things I can't remember
All the pages torn and wrinkled
From years up on a shelf

And I'm reading
All the messages
From all my old friends
Like
Have a great summer
And good luck with your band
Or I can't wait to see you again
And I can't help but wonder where they've been

Growing older
Isn't what i thought it'd be
Oh the life i live at 26
Is nothing like 16

But i'm holding on to hope
That there's more out there for me

Yeah 26
Ain't nothing like 16
There's nothing like 16
