To the girl I met when I was sixteen
To the girl I met when I was sixteen
Pretty as an angel, precious as a queen
I always want to ask you how have you been
But I was thinking that time gave us a distance between
Said I would never tell and never let you know
'cause I'm afraid that my actions would always fail to show
I was childish before but I have never let you go
Maybe we're really meant to separately grow
Am I crazy to think that we are both falling?
Over and over this "crazy little thing"
Am I crazy to think and put on those meaning?
Over the lyrics of the songs that we are both listening
I'm always daydreaming you and I driving
Singing and vibing to John Mayer's "no such thing"
Stereos booming 'till we couldn't hear the revving engine
But it makes me feel sad now that I can only imagine
Peacefully watching the sunrise in the morning
Tightly cuddling to the cold sunset in the evening
And stargazing, knowing that among the stars we're seeing
The brightest of them all is just next to me, lying
I can see you blushing
I can picture you giggling
If you would tell me at this moment that you ain't smiling
I am sure that you are a hundred percent lying
All these words that are rhyming
Would never really tell what I am feeling
Let me just tell you that I'd be patiently waiting
Praying that God won't give this love story an ending
