[Verse 1]
Every now and then I'm right back in your car
And you're tryna make me laugh playing air guitar
Full of hot blood, never knew a love like that
Looking back now it was a common phase
Doesn't make me feel better doesn't full the pain
What we coulda been, burning like a twin flame
[Pre-Chorus]
Every year that I wish for us
Now I can get him back
Guess that's why they call it a crush
'Cause this shit hurts so bad
[Chorus]
Growing up isn't always what you hope
It's not how I thought that this would go
Wasting my youth in the afterglow
I left my innocence at your house
Still feel the heartbreak even now
I don't know how to walk on out
[Post-Chorus]
Sixteen candles
[Verse 2]
Just because they're first don't mean that they'll last
Can't rewrite the words that you said in the past
Guess you live and learn, if I could, I'd turn back time
[Pre-Chorus]
Every year that I wish for us
Now I can get him back
Guess that's why they call it a crush
'Cause this shit hurts so bad
[Chorus]
Growing up ain't always what you hope
It's not how I thought that this would go
Wasting my youth in the afterglow
I left my innocence at your house
Still feel the heartbreak even now
I don't know how to rock on out
[Post-Chorus]
Sixteen candles (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Sixteen candles (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Bridge]
Sixteen ain't so sweet
When it comes to you and me
Sixteen ain't so sweet
When it comes to you and me
[Chorus]
Growing up ain't always what you hope
It's not how I thought that this would go
Wasting my youth in the afterglow
I left my innocence at your house
Still feel the heartbreak even now
I don't know how to rock on out
[Post-Chorus]
Sixteen candles
[Outro]
Sixteen ain't so sweet
When it comes to you and me
Sixteen ain't so sweet
When it comes to you and me
