Sixteen

Get it while you can
It's time for this man to become sophisticated
Become all I hated
When I was sixteen years old
On the street tonight
See the colours shining bright and complicated
Everything I hated
When I was sixteen years old
Everyday
See my innocence
Just fading away
All the black and white
It turns into grey
Oh what more can I say?
Say just what you mean
Mean just what you say
For a day
It's not the same thing for a
Hermit or king
Who's no longer sixteen years old
Everyday
See my innocence
Just fading away
All the black and white
It turns into grey
Oh what more can I say?
She was an only child
I was a lonely child
My god strike me blind
Cut out my tongue
So I can't say what I've done
Just like Leonard used to say
"I ache in all the places
That I used to play in"
And my patience is thin
Now I'm not sixteen years old
