Your old house, it feels smaller

Will it fade out if we wait longer?

Quick trip down, just stoppin' by

I'm late now, but sometimes

I wanna be

Sixteen at the park, parked in your dad's car

Dreamin', gonna grow up, be a big star

Best friends wanna get drunk in a backyard

So cool hangin' out in the backyard

Girl talk, talk about boys like it's business

Mom's mad, gotta get home this instant

Sixteen, bittersweet, oh, so innocent

I guess, I guess I'm missin' it

(Ooh) I guess I'm missin' it

(Ooh) I guess I'm missin'

Your old room, these walls look different

Nothin's new, just days and distance

And I'm freaked out the more I realize

It's gone now, but sometimes

I wanna be

Sixteen at the park, parked in your dad's car

Dreamin', gonna grow up, be a big star

Best friends wanna get drunk in a backyard

So cool hangin' out in the backyard

Girl talk, talk about boys like it's business

Mom's mad, gotta get home this instant

Sixteen, bittersweet, oh, so innocent

I guess, I guess I'm missin' it

I guess I'm missin' it

(Ooh) bein' naïve, little less behind me

(Ooh) I didn't know, I didn't know a thing at

Sixteen

I wanna be sixteen

I wanna be sixteen

I wanna be, I wanna be
