[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
