I saw you looking
You stole my eye
C’mon on over
Unravel you’re my sweet surprise
I’m going on 16

Reveals the band I split up
This city’s a liar
And I swear I’m 16 again
Coulda had a better teacher
To keep me in line
Coulda had a better teacher
To [?] me in line
My heart stopped beating
But I stole a choir
We’re at the punch line
And more lit up than ever
This city’s on fire
And I swear I’m 16 again
Coulda had a better teacher
To keep me in line
Coulda had a better teacher
To [?] me in line
I saw you looking
You stole my eyes
I see you walk in and get
Get my big surprise
I’m going on 16
I’m going on 16
C'mon
I saw you looking
You stole my eyes
I see you walk in and get
Get my big surprise
I’m going on 16
I’m going on 16
C’mon
Coulda had a better teacher
To keep me in line
Coulda had a better teacher
To [?] me in line
I’m going on 16
I’m going on 16
C’mon
