Story behind the song
This song is one of the more lyrically simplistic, and less complex songs from the album and just mildly paints the picture of teenage angst in the form of a story.
Lyrics
‘16’
16, and never going back so they say
I used to hit the road and leave the world for a couple of days
Then I met you on the streets that night
I took one look at you and said come with me and leave this life
-
We weren’t ready, no time to pack our bags
Sick of running our beaten track
It’s no fun and games anymore
She took my hand as we walked out my door
Falling, we’re falling
It’s madness, and we can’t turn around
In the darkness, let it guide us
Together, we’ll sever these chains
After a while the ghosts were nothing new
Sometimes you’d stare into my eyes just for a minute or two
The road we took got kinda rough sometimes
No giving up, we only took a moment to dry our eyes
-
When I wish I could see my friends
I remember that you’re all I have
You never looked back to your darkest hours
They say that darkness grows a beautiful flower
Falling, we’re falling
It’s madness, and we can’t turn around
In the darkness, let it guide us
Together, we’ll sever these chains
Woah, take my hand and run away
Woah, we’ll climb so high, the world can see
So many secrets, so many regrets, although it’s hurt me, we’ll try to forget
So many ways to bring a tear to your eye, we’ll last forever, just you and I
16 and trying to find a way out of this
Already sick and tired of running away from everything
I remember when I was at home each and every night,
the chime of happiness
Having a place to sleep at night
Now I see that it’s all my fault
I don’t have a realistic goal
Holding hands, I’ve skipped the line
And now i’m trapped at the end of time
Falling, we’re falling
It’s madness, and we can’t turn around
In the darkness, let it guide us
Together, we’ll sever these chains
