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
