In an Instagram caption, Don wrote about the meaning behind this song:
I wrote this song in my living room reflecting on the pain I continuously felt as a teenager. I struggled a lot in High School & it was...
(I've been dreaming since I was sixteen)
Kays, you're gonna be okay
You got your sisters' pain
And your mama's frame
Man, I can really feel
What I put him through
I know it's getting late
Dude, I've been feeling bad
How shit went down
Can't think about it now
Now that I'm in, how do I get out?
Now that I'm in
Now that I'm in (Now that I'm in)
Now that I'm in (Now that I'm in), how do I get out?
Now that I'm in (Now that I'm in)
(Now that I'm in)
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen
I've been lying to be on your team
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen (I was sixteen)
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
I've been lying to be on your team
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
(Since I was sixteen)
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
I've been lying to be on your team
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
(Since I was sixteen)
(Since I was sixteen)
Stay
As if I wanted to
I already tried
And it's not you
Take the sane dream tonight
Been living hard
I wanna feel so bad
So why do you feel so small
When you feel so alone?
When you feel so, oh
So why would you feel so small
When you're always wrong?
Gonna be alright
Through the broken hearts
You're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen
I've been lying to be on your team
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
I've been lying to be on your team
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
(Since I was sixteen)
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
I've been lying to be on your team
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen (Sixteen)
(Since I was sixteen)
I've been lying to be on your team
(Since I was sixteen)
(Sixteen)
(Since I was sixteen)
Now that I'm in, how do I get out?
Now that I'm in
Now that I'm in (Now that I'm in)
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen
I've been lying to be on your team
I've been dreaming since I was sixteen
