[Verse 1]
There are days when I wake up
That I don't know what I'm doing here
I barely recognize the pair of eyes staring back at me in the mirror
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
When I was sixteen 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
[Verse 2]
How do 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
[Pre-Chorus]
There was a day that 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
[Chorus]
Oh, I was sixteen 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
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
When I was sixteen 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 are beautiful, yeah
Ooh (I was 16 with an open heart)
Ooh (Windows down in a beat-up car)
When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful
Ohhh
