Sweet Sixteen Eyes

Lyrics

Verse 1
I said I'd stay so cool
Just watch and let it pass
Not be the girl in school
Who falls too hard too fast
Then you looked right at me
And time lost its grip
I tried to act like stone
But your name hit my lips

Pre-Chorus
We talked past second bell
By the gym doors again
I told myself, "It's fine"
Then you turned into "when"
One little laugh from you
And my whole world bent

Chorus
Sweet sixteen, I knew
It was you
Sweet sixteen, I knew
I'd fall through
You were my dream
And my proof
Sweet sixteen, I knew
It was you (it was you)

Verse 2
At lunch, I played it cold
Like you were just a friend
But every sideways smile
Pulled me back again
I kept my hands in pockets
My heart out on my sleeve
You made the quiet parts
Of me believe

Pre-Chorus
Then summer started close
And every day felt loud
Your words stayed on my skin
Like I was home somehow
One little "stay" from you
And I forgot my doubt

Chorus
Sweet sixteen, I knew
It was you
Sweet sixteen, I knew
I'd fall through
You were my dream
And my proof
Sweet sixteen, I knew
It was you (it was you)

Bridge
When you said "I love you"
My whole chest went still
All the scared-off pieces
Finally got their fill
I thought I'd be the one
Who never fell that deep
But you found the parts of me
I didn't know I'd keep

Final Chorus
Sweet sixteen, I knew
It was you
Sweet sixteen, I knew
I'd fall through
You were my dream
And my proof
Sweet sixteen, I knew
It was you (it was you)
Forever felt real
In your room, in your view
Sweet sixteen, I knew
It was you (it was you)
