I used to think about it when I was a little one all alone
Used to be so excited, so excited on my own
I used to think about it when I was a little one all alone
Used to be so excited, so excited in my home

You wouldn't believe it even if I told ya
This little girl with too much exposure
Big bad world, eyes black like a raven
I knew right then my soul needed saving

You were way out of my league back then
Go anyway, be a man

I am sixteen and I love you and I'm standing on your step
I took a photograph in my mind
But I don't know where it's kept
I'm embarrassing and limited with thoughts I have repressed
But I'm sixteen and I love you and I haven't lost it yet

I used to think about it when I was a little one all alone
Used to be so excited, so excited in my home
I used to think about it when I was a little one all alone
Used to be all about it, all about it on my own

You wouldn't believe it even if I told ya
This little girl with too much exposure
Big bad world, eyes black like a raven
I knew right then my soul needed saving

This is the end
You were way out of my league back then
Go anyway, be a man

I am sixteen and I love you and I'm standing on your step
I took a photograph in my mind
But I don't know where it's kept
I'm embarrassing and limited with thoughts I have repressed
But I'm sixteen and I love you and I haven't lost it yet

Let me be your gospel
Baby, we've got history
Let me be your gospel
Baby, we've got history

This is the end, my faithful friend
(Let me be your gospel / Baby, we've got history)
The bitter end, coming home again
(Let me be your gospel / Baby, we've got history)
This is the end

Drink to you, you always wished me well
And those that don't go fuck yourself
Drink to you, you always wished me well
And those that don't go fuck yourself

This is the end
