Lyrics
Sixteen years old, you can't tell me nothing
Sixteen years old, feeling confident and rebellious, believing nobody can advise or guide.
You know we're in love girl, why you fronting?
Asserting a mutual love, questioning why there's a facade or pretense.
Nobody else can love you like me
Claiming unparalleled love, emphasizing uniqueness in affection.
You're looking, but you're searching for me
Observing the partner's quest for something despite being in a relationship.
Twenty five years old and this love won't stop
At twenty-five, the love persists, offering everything if desired.
You can have it all if it's what you want
Promising the partner can have everything they desire.
I promised I would be there for you
Committing to be there for the partner as promised.
On my word that's what I'm gonna do
Reiterating the commitment, emphasizing the spoken word.
Do you remember, remember the cold nights in December?
Recalling cold December nights and the departure after shared moments.
The mornings you spent next to me
Reminiscing mornings spent together before the eventual departure.
Before you said you had to leave?
Reflecting on the partner's departure.
No, I could never be okay as I watched you walk away
Expressing emotional pain, acknowledging difficulty in moving on.
Though I knew deep inside that you'll be coming back someday
Aware that the partner will return despite the pain of departure.
You can't erase the past, we loved what we both had
Highlighting the inability to erase the past, cherishing past love.
Young, dumb and in love, we fight and we make up
Describing a youthful, passionate, and occasionally tumultuous love.
We say somethings that we don't mean, sometimes we break up
Admitting saying things in anger, acknowledging occasional breakups.
But you'll always be mine I know you feel it in your gut
Asserting an unshakeable belief in the enduring connection.
Watched you leave and I can't make a sound
Describing the silence and struggle after the partner's departure.
And I know you tried to fight the urge to turn around
Recognizing the partner's internal conflict in leaving.
And I'm struggling to find a way just back to where I was
Struggling to find a way back to the initial state of the relationship.
There's a hole in my heart and that's
Expressing emotional pain through a metaphorical hole in the heart.
Because you're mine, you're mine, you're mine
Repeating the possessive affirmation of the partner being "mine."
You're mine, you're mine, you're mine
-We made these promises, promises
Reflecting on promises made during youth, unable to stop thinking and dreaming of the partner.
When we were just kids with no common sense
-Now I can't stop thinking of you
-We made these promises, promises
-When we were just kids with no common sense
-Now I can't stop dreaming of you
-Ask me why I'm so blue
Inviting inquiry into the cause of emotional sadness.
Say that you'll wait for me while I'm coming up chasing dreams
Expressing the challenges of pursuing dreams and urging the partner to join the journey.
I know it's hard to be alone while I'm still out here on the road
-Got bands, got bands, I'm coming up strong girl take my hand
-I know that you want to take a chance
-You don't got to be afraid, so let's make some plans
-We can run away and head to the coast
Proposing a getaway, promising commitment and eternal love.
We can leave this place and they will never know
-Say you'll follow me, I swear I'll never let you go
-Us together 'til forever 'cause I love you so
-We were young, dumb in love, we didn't have a clue
Reiterating the youthful, carefree love, prioritizing the partner.
I never cared about a thing as long as I had you
-As long as I had you, you, you
-As long as I had you, you, you, you
-We made these promises, promises
Revisiting the theme of promises made in youth, unable to stop thinking and dreaming of the partner.
When we were just kids with no common sense
-Now I can't stop thinking of you
-We made these promises, promises
-When we were just kids with no common sense
-Now I can't stop dreaming of you
-Ask me why I'm so blue
Prompting a question about the source of emotional distress.
We made these promises, promises
Continuing to dwell on promises made in youth, expressing an unwillingness to stop thinking about the partner.
When we were just kids with no common sense
-Now I can't stop, I can't stop
-I don't wanna stop thinking of you
-We made these promises, promises
-When we were just kids with no common sense
-But I fell in love and I love the feeling of being here with you
Conveying the joy of falling in love and savoring the feeling of being with the partner.
