Sixteen Songtext
von Ben Mitchell

In the summer of ′16
She felt alive like she'd never been
But still she was alone

When she saw that boy
Her heart filled with a joy
Her soul had never known

So close yet out of reach
The horizon on her beach

In the summer of ′16
He was almost seventeen
And he thought he was already a man

'Cause when he saw that girl he was
King of the world
And so he made a bold plan

We will be together
No doubt in my mind whatever


So they spent that summer
Kissin' and cuddlin′
Given it good lovin′
Hands and tongues
All gettin' twisted
Like love never existed before
Well, it never existed before

In the summer of ′16
She was ready to believe
Love could be right here for her

He had the same exact idea
Living with so little fear
How could something real disappear

Now they both know better
She remembers him
He cannot forget her

'Cause they spent that summer
Kissin′ and cuddlin'
Given it good lovin′
Hands and tongues
All gettin' twisted
Like love never existed before
Well, it never existed before


When she saw that boy again
Her eyes filled with tears and then
They lit up like bright stars
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Filling the dark
Of all those lost years
He said, "Girl, it's good to see you here."
"Girl, it′s good to see you here."
"Girl, it′s good to see you here."
"Girl, it's good to see you here."

So they spent that summer
Kissin′ and cuddlin'
Given it good lovin′
Hands and tongues
All gettin' twisted
Like love never existed before
Well, it never existed before
Well, it never existed before
Well, it never existed before
Well, it never existed before
