[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 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]
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

[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
