There are days when I wake up
I don’t know what I’m doing here
I barely recognize the pair of eyes
Staring back at me in the mirror

There was a day when I was free
Not a care that I could see
So good I barely could believe that it was happening
Oh, take me back again

When I was 16 with an open heart
Windows down in a beat-up car
When I was dumb and the world was young
And she was beautiful
She was beautiful, she was beautiful

How did we end up like this
Living lives that we don’t care about
Too busy fixing things on computer screens
While the grass grows green, me I’m screaming out

There was a day when I was free
Not a care that I could see
So good I barely could believe that it was happening
Oh, take me back again

I was 16 with an open heart
Windows down in a beat-up car
When I was dumb and the world was young
And she was beautiful
She was beautiful, she was beautiful
She was beautiful, she was beautiful, yeah yeah yeah

There was a day when I was free
Not a care that I could see
So good I barely could believe that it was happening
Oh, take me back again

I was 16 with an open heart
Windows down in a beat-up car
When I was dumb and the world was young
The world was young
She was beautiful, she was beautiful
It was you, it was you, and you were beautiful

I was 16 with an open heart
Windows down in a beat-up car
When I was dumb and the world was young
And she was beautiful
