Sixteen and Drowning

Verse 1

Every morning by the same old locker

I catch your eyes and look away too fast

Teachers talkin' bout the quadratic formula

I'm done with everything but your laugh

Pre-Chorus

Two summers till we're old enough to try

Two more years of you and I just passing by

Chorus

Sixteen and I'm drowning in it

Sixteen and you're everything I see

We smile so hard our hearts can't take it

But neither one of us can speak

Post-Chorus

(Say it) Say it

(Say it) Say it

Say it say it say it to me

Verse 2

You write my name in the frost on you window

I trace it back like a silent sign

Mama says no boys till I'm eighteen

Your dad's the same and we don't have the time

Pre-Chorus

Two summers till the gates swing wide

Two more years of you and I in parallel lines

Chorus

Sixteen and I'm drowning in it

Sixteen and you're everything I see

We smile so hard our hearts can't take it

But neither one of us can speak

Post-Chorus

(Say it) Say it

(Say it) Say it

Say it say it say it to me

Bridge

Counting days like paper moons

Maybe soon

Maybe soon

Chorus

Sixteen and I'm drowning in it

Sixteen and you're everything I see

We smile so hard our hearts can't take it

But neither one of us can speak

Post-Chorus

(Say it) Say it

(Say it) Say it

Say it say it say it to me
